Currently we are using master and private branches... Please do help me with this issue, as it is critical... And also can you suggest me what can I use for Continuous build system in Linux Fedora -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-create-branches-above-master-tp29342864p29342864.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ``` ## Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, 2010-08-04 08:07 Subject: Re: How to create branches above master Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTik-qw3bFHWLwMnqJuzgu%3DHHSRiiVRBW2nfjRTy3%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <29342864.post@talk.nabble.com> ``` On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 07:22, Bharani Prasad wrote: > I am using git-repository along with gerrit server for code review, I want > to create branches called "Integration" branch & "Release" branch What's stopping you?

Any of the intersection between Google's results for "continuous integration" and "git". They're all good. ``` ## Jared Hance, 2010-08-04 12:04 Subject: Re: How to create branches above master Message-ID: <20100804120421.GA2228@localhost.localdomain> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100804120421.GA2228%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: ``` To Bharani: It sounds like you are using one repository for multiple projects. Git doesn't handle this use case very well.

I think he might need git-cherrypick for this use-case since you don't want to merge all of integration into release. ```
