Question

I don’t know exactly what is the term for that but i will tell you what i want.

Suppose i am writing the website and i have uploaded the most basic code on the bitbucket.

Now i am going to make continuous changes in the code but i want to separate the repository into sections so that i can clone any version.

Like suppose i can make the branch 1 as Sample App without database then after one months of commit, I want to have another branch called Sample app with database added and son on.

So that i can always clone any of those branches. new branches will have some new files , codes images etc.

Answer 1

It seems to me that you’re looking for tags.

You can apply a tag to a commit to be able to find it more easily later. It’s generally used to mark releases, among other things. The current revision is tagged with the tag v1.2.3 like this:

git tag v1.2.3

You can also apply tags to old revisions like this:

git tag v1.2.3 9fceb02

where 9fceb02 is the checksum/revision of the commit. Tags must be pushed with an explicit command:

git push origin --tags

Later, you can checkout the tag in your workspace like this:

git checkout v1.2.3
