Creating a New Feature Branch

In the Release Manager module, this function allows you to create a new feature branch from an existing feature branch. After you cut a child feature branch from a parent feature branch, the child branch inherits all app-level configurations of the parent feature branch.

Let’s learn how to create a child branch from a parent Feature_1 feature branch.

Assume you have created an app, App11/12, which is by default created in the Feature_1 branch.

Click the APP11/12 tile to access the App11/12 application in the vDesigner module or click Go to vDesigner, and the vDesigner module displays the App11/12 in the design canvas.

The following steps describe how to cut a new branch from the Feature_1 branch and then pull the App11/12 app to the newly created feature branch.
