The dolt branch --delete ${branch_name}
command is used to delete a branch in Dolt, which is a version-controlled database system.
To understand this command, let's break it down:
dolt
indicates the Dolt command-line tool. It is the executable used to interact with Dolt.branch
is the subcommand that deals with branch-related operations, such as creating, listing, or deleting branches.--delete
is an option that specifies the intention to delete a branch. It is followed by the name of the branch that will be deleted.${branch_name}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the branch you want to delete.
So, when you execute the dolt branch --delete ${branch_name}
command, it tells Dolt to delete the specified branch. This will permanently remove the branch and its history from the repository. It is important to note that deleting a branch cannot be undone, so be cautious when using this command.
