The command dolt checkout ${branch_name}
is used with the Dolt version control system to switch to a different branch within a Dolt repository.
Here's how it works:
-
dolt
: This is the command-line utility for using Dolt. It is followed by the sub-commandcheckout
to indicate that you want to switch to a different branch. -
checkout
: This sub-command is used to change the active branch in the current Dolt repository. -
${branch_name}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the branch you want to switch to. You need to replace${branch_name}
with the actual name of the branch, without the curly braces.
Once you run this command, Dolt will switch the active branch to the specified branch name, and you will be in the context of the newly checked-out branch. Any changes you make from this point will be specific to the checked-out branch, rather than the previous branch.
