#grb git-remote-branch
Usage:
grb create branch_name [origin_server]
grb publish branch_name [origin_server]
grb rename branch_name [origin_server]
grb delete branch_name [origin_server]
grb track branch_name [origin_server]
Notes:
- If origin_server is not specified, the name 'origin' is assumed (git's default)
- The rename functionality renames the current branch
The explain meta-command: you can also prepend any command with the keyword 'explain'. Instead of executing the command, git_remote_branch will simply output the list of commands you need to run to accomplish that goal. Example: grb explain create grb explain create my_branch github
All commands also have aliases: create: create, new delete: delete, destroy, kill, remove, rm publish: publish, remotize, share rename: rename, rn, mv, move track: track, follow, grab, fetch
