The command "dolt checkout -b ${branch_name} ${commit}" is used in the Dolt version control system to create a new branch and switch to that branch at a specific commit.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "dolt": Refers to the Dolt executable or command-line interface (CLI).
- "checkout": Refers to the action of switching branches or commits.
- "-b ${branch_name}": Specifies the creation of a new branch with the given name. "${branch_name}" should be replaced with the desired name of the new branch.
- "${commit}": Specifies the specific commit at which the new branch should be created. "${commit}" should be replaced with the hash or unique identifier of the commit.
To summarize: This command creates a new branch with the given name at the specified commit in the Dolt repository and switches to that branch.
