Overview

Usually, when you register a Bazaar branch with Launchpad, you tell Launchpad which project the branch is associated with.

If you'd prefer to upload a branch to Launchpad without it showing up in any project's branch listings, you can use the +junk pseudo-project. This can be useful if your branch is:

  • for a project not yet in Launchpad
  • not ready to be publicly associated with a project.

+junk branches work in a similar way to normal branches: anyone can create their own branch and they show up in your own branch list.

However, there are some differences:

  • only individuals - not teams - can register them
  • you can't propose a +junk branch for merger
  • they don't show up in any project's branch listing
  • you don't earn karma from +junk branches.

If you want to collaborate on a +junk branch with someone else, you'll need to create a project.

Registering a +junk branch

Adding a +junk branch to Launchpad is similar to registering a branch associated with a project.

Visit your register a branch page and make sure you:

  • select the Hosted option, to host the branch on Launchpad

  • do not enter a project name.

At top of the page, you'll see that the automatically updating branch name looks something like:

~matthew.revell/+junk/mybranch
