the remote-tracking branch. This behavior may be changed via the global
`branch.autosetupmerge` configuration flag. That setting can be
overridden by using the `--track` and `--no-track` options, and
-changed later using `git branch --set-upstream`.
+changed later using `git branch --set-upstream-to`.
With a `-m` or `-M` option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>.
If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match
default to color output.
Same as `--color=never`.
+--column[=<options>]::
+--no-column::
+ Display branch listing in columns. See configuration variable
+ column.branch for option syntax.`--column` and `--no-column`
+ without options are equivalent to 'always' and 'never' respectively.
++
+This option is only applicable in non-verbose mode.
+
-r::
--remotes::
List or delete (if used with -d) the remote-tracking branches.
relationship to upstream branch (if any). If given twice, print
the name of the upstream branch, as well.
+-q::
+--quiet::
+ Be more quiet when creating or deleting a branch, suppressing
+ non-error messages.
+
--abbrev=<length>::
Alter the sha1's minimum display length in the output listing.
The default value is 7 and can be overridden by the `core.abbrev`
like `--track` would when creating the branch, except that where
branch points to is not changed.
+-u <upstream>::
+--set-upstream-to=<upstream>::
+ Set up <branchname>'s tracking information so <upstream> is
+ considered <branchname>'s upstream branch. If no <branchname>
+ is specified, then it defaults to the current branch.
+
+--unset-upstream::
+ Remove the upstream information for <branchname>. If no branch
+ is specified it defaults to the current branch.
+
--edit-description::
Open an editor and edit the text to explain what the branch is
for, to be used by various other commands (e.g. `request-pull`).
