+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+If `--list` is given, or if there are no non-option arguments, existing
+branches are listed; the current branch will be highlighted in green and
+marked with an asterisk.  Any branches checked out in linked worktrees will
+be highlighted in cyan and marked with a plus sign. Option `-r` causes the
+remote-tracking branches to be listed,
+and option `-a` shows both local and remote branches.
+
+If a `<pattern>`
+is given, it is used as a shell wildcard to restrict the output to
+matching branches. If multiple patterns are given, a branch is shown if
+it matches any of the patterns.
+
+Note that when providing a
+`<pattern>`, you must use `--list`; otherwise the command may be interpreted
+as branch creation.
+
+With `--contains`, shows only the branches that contain the named commit
+(in other words, the branches whose tip commits are descendants of the
+named commit), `--no-contains` inverts it. With `--merged`, only branches
+merged into the named commit (i.e. the branches whose tip commits are
+reachable from the named commit) will be listed.  With `--no-merged` only
+branches not merged into the named commit will be listed.  If the <commit>
+argument is missing it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the tip of the current
+branch).
+
+The command's second form creates a new branch head named <branchname>
+which points to the current `HEAD`, or <start-point> if given. As a
+special case, for <start-point>, you may use `"A...B"` as a shortcut for
+the merge base of `A` and `B` if there is exactly one merge base. You
+can leave out at most one of `A` and `B`, in which case it defaults to
+`HEAD`.
+
+Note that this will create the new branch, but it will not switch the
+working tree to it; use "git switch <newbranch>" to switch to the
+new branch.
+
+When a local branch is started off a remote-tracking branch, Git sets up the
+branch (specifically the `branch.<name>.remote` and `branch.<name>.merge`
+configuration entries) so that 'git pull' will appropriately merge from
+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-to`.
+
+With a `-m` or `-M` option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>.
+If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match
+<newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch
+renaming. If <newbranch> exists, -M must be used to force the rename
+to happen.
+
+The `-c` and `-C` options have the exact same semantics as `-m` and
+`-M`, except instead of the branch being renamed, it will be copied to a
+new name, along with its config and reflog.
+
+With a `-d` or `-D` option, `<branchname>` will be deleted.  You may
+specify more than one branch for deletion.  If the branch currently
+has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.
+
+Use `-r` together with `-d` to delete remote-tracking branches. Note, that it
+only makes sense to delete remote-tracking branches if they no longer exist
+in the remote repository or if 'git fetch' was configured not to fetch
+them again. See also the 'prune' subcommand of linkgit:git-remote[1] for a
+way to clean up all obsolete remote-tracking branches.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-d::
+--delete::
+	Delete a branch. The branch must be fully merged in its
+	upstream branch, or in `HEAD` if no upstream was set with
+	`--track` or `--set-upstream-to`.
+
+-D::
+	Shortcut for `--delete --force`.
+
+--create-reflog::
+	Create the branch's reflog.  This activates recording of
+	all changes made to the branch ref, enabling use of date
+	based sha1 expressions such as "<branchname>@\{yesterday}".
+	Note that in non-bare repositories, reflogs are usually
+	enabled by default by the `core.logAllRefUpdates` config option.
+	The negated form `--no-create-reflog` only overrides an earlier
+	`--create-reflog`, but currently does not negate the setting of
+	`core.logAllRefUpdates`.
+
+-f::
+--force::
+	Reset <branchname> to <start-point>, even if <branchname> exists
+	already. Without `-f`, 'git branch' refuses to change an existing branch.
+	In combination with `-d` (or `--delete`), allow deleting the
+	branch irrespective of its merged status, or whether it even
+	points to a valid commit. In combination with
+	`-m` (or `--move`), allow renaming the branch even if the new
+	branch name already exists, the same applies for `-c` (or `--copy`).
++
+Note that 'git branch -f <branchname> [<start-point>]', even with '-f',
+refuses to change an existing branch `<branchname>` that is checked out
+in another worktree linked to the same repository.
+
+-m::
+--move::
+	Move/rename a branch, together with its config and reflog.
+
+-M::
+	Shortcut for `--move --force`.
+
+-c::
+--copy::
+	Copy a branch, together with its config and reflog.
+
+-C::
+	Shortcut for `--copy --force`.
+
+--color[=<when>]::
+	Color branches to highlight current, local, and
+	remote-tracking branches.
+	The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.
+
+--no-color::
+	Turn off branch colors, even when the configuration file gives the
+	default to color output.
+	Same as `--color=never`.
+
+-i::
+--ignore-case::
+	Sorting and filtering branches are case insensitive.
+
+--omit-empty::
+	Do not print a newline after formatted refs where the format expands
+	to the empty string.
+
+--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.
+	Combine with `--list` to match the optional pattern(s).
+
+-a::
+--all::
+	List both remote-tracking branches and local branches.
+	Combine with `--list` to match optional pattern(s).
+
+-l::
+--list::
+	List branches.  With optional `<pattern>...`, e.g. `git
+	branch --list 'maint-*'`, list only the branches that match
+	the pattern(s).
+
+--show-current::
+	Print the name of the current branch. In detached HEAD state,
+	nothing is printed.
+
+-v::
+-vv::
+--verbose::
+	When in list mode,
+	show sha1 and commit subject line for each head, along with
+	relationship to upstream branch (if any). If given twice, print
+	the path of the linked worktree (if any) and the name of the upstream
+	branch, as well (see also `git remote show <remote>`).  Note that the
+	current worktree's HEAD will not have its path printed (it will always
+	be your current directory).
+
+-q::
+--quiet::
+	Be more quiet when creating or deleting a branch, suppressing
+	non-error messages.
+
+--abbrev=<n>::
+	In the verbose listing that show the commit object name,
+	show the shortest prefix that is at least '<n>' hexdigits
+	long that uniquely refers the object.
+	The default value is 7 and can be overridden by the `core.abbrev`
+	config option.
+
+--no-abbrev::
+	Display the full sha1s in the output listing rather than abbreviating them.
+
+-t::
+--track[=(direct|inherit)]::
+	When creating a new branch, set up `branch.<name>.remote` and
+	`branch.<name>.merge` configuration entries to set "upstream" tracking
+	configuration for the new branch. This
+	configuration will tell git to show the relationship between the
+	two branches in `git status` and `git branch -v`. Furthermore,
+	it directs `git pull` without arguments to pull from the
+	upstream when the new branch is checked out.
++
+The exact upstream branch is chosen depending on the optional argument:
+`-t`, `--track`, or `--track=direct` means to use the start-point branch
+itself as the upstream; `--track=inherit` means to copy the upstream
+configuration of the start-point branch.
++
+The branch.autoSetupMerge configuration variable specifies how `git switch`,
+`git checkout` and `git branch` should behave when neither `--track` nor
+`--no-track` are specified:
++
+The default option, `true`, behaves as though `--track=direct`
+were given whenever the start-point is a remote-tracking branch.
+`false` behaves as if `--no-track` were given. `always` behaves as though
+`--track=direct` were given. `inherit` behaves as though `--track=inherit`
+were given. `simple` behaves as though `--track=direct` were given only when
+the start-point is a remote-tracking branch and the new branch has the same
+name as the remote branch.
++
+See linkgit:git-pull[1] and linkgit:git-config[1] for additional discussion on
+how the `branch.<name>.remote` and `branch.<name>.merge` options are used.
+
+--no-track::
+	Do not set up "upstream" configuration, even if the
+	branch.autoSetupMerge configuration variable is set.
+
+--recurse-submodules::
+	THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL! Causes the current command to
+	recurse into submodules if `submodule.propagateBranches` is
+	enabled. See `submodule.propagateBranches` in
+	linkgit:git-config[1]. Currently, only branch creation is
+	supported.
++
+When used in branch creation, a new branch <branchname> will be created
+in the superproject and all of the submodules in the superproject's
+<start-point>. In submodules, the branch will point to the submodule
+commit in the superproject's <start-point> but the branch's tracking
+information will be set up based on the submodule's branches and remotes
+e.g. `git branch --recurse-submodules topic origin/main` will create the
+submodule branch "topic" that points to the submodule commit in the
+superproject's "origin/main", but tracks the submodule's "origin/main".
+
+--set-upstream::
+	As this option had confusing syntax, it is no longer supported.
+	Please use `--track` or `--set-upstream-to` instead.
+
+-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. `format-patch`,
+	`request-pull`, and `merge` (if enabled)). Multi-line explanations
+	may be used.
+
+--contains [<commit>]::
+	Only list branches which contain the specified commit (HEAD
+	if not specified). Implies `--list`.
+
+--no-contains [<commit>]::
+	Only list branches which don't contain the specified commit
+	(HEAD if not specified). Implies `--list`.
+
+--merged [<commit>]::
+	Only list branches whose tips are reachable from the
+	specified commit (HEAD if not specified). Implies `--list`.
+
+--no-merged [<commit>]::
+	Only list branches whose tips are not reachable from the
+	specified commit (HEAD if not specified). Implies `--list`.
+
+<branchname>::
+	The name of the branch to create or delete.
+	The new branch name must pass all checks defined by
+	linkgit:git-check-ref-format[1].  Some of these checks
+	may restrict the characters allowed in a branch name.
+
+<start-point>::
+	The new branch head will point to this commit.  It may be
+	given as a branch name, a commit-id, or a tag.  If this
+	option is omitted, the current HEAD will be used instead.
+
+<oldbranch>::
+	The name of an existing branch to rename.
+
+<newbranch>::
+	The new name for an existing branch. The same restrictions as for
+	<branchname> apply.
+
+--sort=<key>::
+	Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in descending
+	order of the value. You may use the --sort=<key> option
+	multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
+	key. The keys supported are the same as those in `git
+	for-each-ref`. Sort order defaults to the value configured for the
+	`branch.sort` variable if it exists, or to sorting based on the
+	full refname (including `refs/...` prefix). This lists
+	detached HEAD (if present) first, then local branches and
+	finally remote-tracking branches. See linkgit:git-config[1].
+
+
+--points-at <object>::
+	Only list branches of the given object.
+
+--format <format>::
+	A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from a branch ref being shown
+	and the object it points at.  The format is the same as
+	that of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1].
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+`pager.branch` is only respected when listing branches, i.e., when
+`--list` is used or implied. The default is to use a pager.
+See linkgit:git-config[1].

+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Start development from a known tag::
++
+------------
+$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6
+$ cd my2.6
+$ git branch my2.6.14 v2.6.14   <1>
+$ git switch my2.6.14
+------------
++
+<1> This step and the next one could be combined into a single step with
+    "checkout -b my2.6.14 v2.6.14".
+
+Delete an unneeded branch::
++
+------------
+$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git
+$ cd my.git
+$ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man   <1>
+$ git branch -D test                                    <2>
+------------
++
+<1> Delete the remote-tracking branches "todo", "html" and "man". The next
+    'fetch' or 'pull' will create them again unless you configure them not to.
+    See linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+<2> Delete the "test" branch even if the "master" branch (or whichever branch
+    is currently checked out) does not have all commits from the test branch.
+
+Listing branches from a specific remote::
++
+------------
+$ git branch -r -l '<remote>/<pattern>'                 <1>
+$ git for-each-ref 'refs/remotes/<remote>/<pattern>'    <2>
+------------
++
+<1> Using `-a` would conflate <remote> with any local branches you happen to
+    have been prefixed with the same <remote> pattern.
+<2> `for-each-ref` can take a wide range of options. See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]
+
+Patterns will normally need quoting.
+
+NOTES
+-----
+
+If you are creating a branch that you want to switch to immediately,
+it is easier to use the "git switch" command with its `-c` option to
+do the same thing with a single command.
+
+The options `--contains`, `--no-contains`, `--merged` and `--no-merged`
+serve four related but different purposes:
+
+- `--contains <commit>` is used to find all branches which will need
+  special attention if <commit> were to be rebased or amended, since those
+  branches contain the specified <commit>.
+
+- `--no-contains <commit>` is the inverse of that, i.e. branches that don't
+  contain the specified <commit>.
+
+- `--merged` is used to find all branches which can be safely deleted,
+  since those branches are fully contained by HEAD.
+
+- `--no-merged` is used to find branches which are candidates for merging
+  into HEAD, since those branches are not fully contained by HEAD.
