dolt-branch: Rename a branch.
$ dolt branch --move ${branch_name1} ${branch_name2}
try on your machine

The command "dolt branch --move ${branch_name1} ${branch_name2}" is used to rename a branch in Dolt, a version-controlled database system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dolt branch" is the base command used to work with branches in Dolt.
  • "--move" is an option that specifies that we want to rename/move a branch.
  • "${branch_name1}" is the current name of the branch that you want to rename.
  • "${branch_name2}" is the new name you want to assign to the branch.

So, essentially, this command is used to rename the branch with the name "${branch_name1}" to "${branch_name2}". After running the command, the branch will have a new name and all the commits and changes associated with that branch will remain intact, just with a different name.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
