Good afternoon, now I work with a repository in which branches are organized into folders: features in the topic/myfeature folder, bugfixes/myfeature in the bugfixes/myfeature .

Actually the question is, can I configure the default name for all new branches I create using git itself or the sourcetree ? That is, I want that when I click "create a new branch" I was asked to automatically create a branch called topic/* .

That is, I need the preset name of the branch I am creating. The branch itself, the name of the repository has nothing to do with it.

    Added a git-flow tag to the question. In the description of the label you can find links to documentation and software. - Nick Volynkin ♦ pm

What you are describing is a git-flow extension that introduces high-level operations to control the flow of development. Judging by the naming convention, most of the developers in your command use / use it.

SourceTree can work with this extension. Clicking on the "Git Flow" button on the toolbar opens the Git Flow initialization dialog:

In it, you can specify the names of branches for development and sale, for features, releases, hotfixes, and prefixes for version tags.

After initialization, clicking on the Git Flow button will display a dialog of operations, allowing you to start and finish work on features, releases, hotfixes, etc:

  • @username, yeah, thanks, I read it before, but it didn't work for me in my work, so gitflow was postponed in my head as a way of organizing branching, and I don’t even think about using this tool - Duck Learning to Take Cover
 git remote -v # View existing remotes # origin https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch) # origin https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (push) git remote rename origin topic # Change remote name from 'origin' to 'topic' git remote -v # Verify remote's new name # topic https://github.com/FORKER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch) # topic https://github.com/FORKER/REPOSITORY.git (push)

local config is stored here, if that

 vim .git/config
  • Perhaps I wrote incomprehensibly. I don't need to rename the remote repository. There are folders on the remote repository. Folders have names like topic / bugs / etc. I need to create a branch which will be called topic / mysuperbranch so that I immediately push it in topic / mysuperbrunch on the remote repository. If I do as you have written, then my task will not solve it at all =) - Duck Learns to Take Cover
  • open look config - username
  • but in general there is a git remote set-head topic mysuperbranch although I’m not sure what you need anymore - username
