SYNOPSIS

[verse]
-'git-branch' [--color | --no-color] [-r | -a] [-v [--abbrev=<length>]]
-'git-branch' [-l] [-f] <branchname> [<start-point>]
+'git-branch' [--color | --no-color] [-r | -a]
+ [-v [--abbrev=<length> | --no-abbrev]]
+'git-branch' [--track | --no-track] [-l] [-f] <branchname> [<start-point>]
'git-branch' (-m | -M) [<oldbranch>] <newbranch>
'git-branch' (-d | -D) [-r] <branchname>...
If no <start-point> is given, the branch will be created with a head
equal to that of the currently checked out branch.
+When a local branch is started off a remote branch, git can setup the
+branch so that gitlink:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from that
+remote branch. If this behavior is desired, it is possible to make it
+the default using the global `branch.autosetupmerge` configuration
+flag. Otherwise, it can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
+and `--no-track` options.
+
With a '-m' or '-M' option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>.
If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match
<newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch
Alter minimum display length for sha1 in output listing,
default value is 7.
+--no-abbrev::
+ Display the full sha1s in output listing rather than abbreviating them.
