Git Branch and Tag Management

When accessing an API repository, you’ll initially be directed to the default branch, which is typically the main branch.

Branch and Tag Operations

Use the branch dropdown menu in the upper left corner to manage branches and tags. This menu provides comprehensive branch/tag management capabilities:

• Switch between branches/tags: Navigate between different versions of your repository
• Create new branch/tag: Start a new development path or mark a specific version
• Delete branch/tag: Remove unused or obsolete branches/tags
• Set default branch: Select a new default branch for the repository

Local Git Integration

Since APIGit repositories can be cloned to your local machine, you can also:

1. Create branches locally using standard Git commands
2. Push these branches back to APIGit
3. Manage your branches through both the web interface and local Git operations

This flexibility allows you to use your preferred workflow while maintaining full compatibility with APIGit’s web-based tools.
