Unknown branch type

This setting defines the branch type to use when Git Town cannot determine the branch type using all other configuration settings:

• main-branch,
• perennial-branches
• Feature regex
• Contribution regex
• Observed regex
• or a manual branch type override set by git town park, git town contribute, git town hack, git town observe, git town prototype

Possible values are:

• feature (default)
• contribution
• observed
• parked
• prototype

configuration via setup assistant

A great way to configure this setting is through the setup assistant.

configure in config file

In the config file, the unknown branch type is specified in the [branches] section:

[branches]
unknown-type = "feature"

configure in Git metadata

You can manually configure the unknown branch type using Git metadata:

git config [--global] git-town.unknown-branch-type "feature"

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