Branches let you work on changes in isolation before merging them into the main branch. This Git-like workflow enables safe experimentation and team collaboration.

​
Branch list

The Branches page shows all project branches:
ColumnDescription
NameBranch identifier
AuthorWho created the branch
Change RequestAssociated CR if one exists
ActionsEdit, view commits, delete

​
Creating a branch

  1. Click “Create branch”
  2. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., feature/pricing-update, fix/discount-bug)
  3. Click Create
New branches are created from the current state of the main branch.

​
Naming conventions

Use prefixes to indicate branch purpose:
  • feature/ - New functionality
  • fix/ - Bug fixes
  • refactor/ - Code improvements
  • test/ - Experimental changes

​
Working on a branch

After creating a branch, click the edit button to open the editor. You can:
  • Add, modify, or delete files
  • Commit changes with descriptive messages
  • Test rules using the simulator

​
Committing changes

  1. Make your changes in the editor
  2. Click “Commit changes”
  3. Review the list of changed files
  4. Enter a commit message

​
Merging branches

When ready to merge changes into main:
