hg branch [name]

hg branch manages named branches in Mercurial. Without arguments, it shows the current branch name. With a name argument, it marks the working directory as being on a new branch, which takes effect on the next commit. Named branches are permanent parts of changeset history. For lightweight Git-style branches, use hg bookmark instead.

-f, --force

Set branch name even if shadowing an existing branch.

Reset branch name to parent branch name.
