dolt-branch: Create a new branch with the specified commit as the latest.
$ dolt branch ${branch_name} ${commit}
try on your machine
The command "dolt branch ${branch_name} ${commit}" is used in the Dolt Version Control System (VCS) to create a new branch from a specific commit.
Here is a breakdown of the different components of the command:
- "dolt branch": This is the command used to create a new branch.
- "${branch_name}": This is a placeholder for the name of the branch you want to create. Replace it with the desired name of your new branch.
- "${commit}": This is also a placeholder for the specific commit from which you want to create the new branch. Replace it with the commit hash or branch name you want to use as the starting point for your new branch.
The command, when executed, will create a new branch with the specified name starting from the given commit. This allows you to work on a separate line of development, independent of the current branch or the main branch.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
