New branch type

This setting defines the type for new branches created using the git town hack, append, or prepend commands.

Before setting this, consider one of these more broadly applicable configuration entries:

• contribution-regex
• unknown-branch-type
• feature-regex
• observed-regex
• perennial-branches
• perennial-regex

values

These values make sense for this setting:

• feature (default)
• parked
• perennial
• prototype

config file

To configure the type of new branches in the configuration file:

[create]
new-branch-type = "feature"

Git metadata

To configure the type of new branches in Git metadata, run this command:

git config [--global] git-town.new-branch-type <feature|parked|perennial|prototype>

The optional --global flag applies this setting to all Git repositories on your machine. Without it, the setting applies only to the current repository.

environment variable

You can configure the new branch type by setting the GIT_TOWN_NEW_BRANCH_TYPE environment variable.
