new-branch-type configuration setting

The "new-branch-type" setting defines the type for new branches created using the git town hack, append, or prepend commands.

The best way to change this setting is via the setup assistant.

values

• feature (default)
• parked
• perennial
• prototype

config file

To configure the type of new branches in the configuration file:

new-branch-type = "feature"

Git metadata

To configure the type of new branches in Git metadata, run this command:

git config [--global] git-town.new-branch-type <feature|parked|perennial|prototype>

The optional --global flag applies this setting to all Git repositories on your machine. Without it, the setting applies only to the current repository.
