How to create a personal branch in Launchpad?

  • 772

I'm assisting in a project on Launchpad - however I do not have write access to that branch. How can I create a branch which I can push to and point people on the team for review?

launchpad bazaar

    Go to the project page that you want to create a branch for and click 'Submit Code'.

    Then set up the branch. Make sure it is hosted in Launchpad.

    alt text

    You can then push to the branch:

    bzr push lp:branch

    The first time you push, you will need to use:

    bzr push lp:branch --use-existing-dir

    Once you are ready to merge, click 'Propose for merging' on the 'Code' tab of the project.

    It will then wait to be reviewed by someone with the necessary permissions.

    Once the review has started, you will see something like this in the 'Code' tab: alt text

    You can follow this link to the review page. alt text

    Once the reviewer is satisfied, they will merge the branches and your code will become part of the project's trunk.

  2. You can push a branch under your own name, e.g. bzr push lp:~ajmitch/ubuntuwire-website/update-machine-list to push a branch to the ubuntuwire-website project which is named update-machine-list

  3. Starting in the folder a level up from the branch:

    bzr branch originalBranchName newBranchName
cd newBranchName

    Make some changes to the files. If you add any new files/folders:

    bzr add

    Once you're done:

    bzr commit -m "Description of changes"

    And push to your own Launchpad branch:

    bzr push lp:~lpusername/projectname/branchname
