You can host a Bazaar branch for any project that is registered in Launchpad.

Before you start: you must have registered an SSH key in your Launchpad account. To register a key, visit http://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editsshkeys

Pushing your branch

To create your branch, use bzr push.

The push location should be of the form:

• bzr+ssh://login@bazaar.launchpad.net/~registrant/project/branch

Push location explained

• login is your Launchpad account name (or Launchpad ID): the last part of the URL of your Launchpad profile page. Launchpad uses it to check the SSH key you are authenticating with.

• registrant is your Launchpad person name, or the name of a team you belong to. Use a team name to create a branch to which other members of that team can upload.

• project is the name of the Launchpad project to register this branch on. The uploaded branch will appear in the listings for this project.

• branch must be unique for a given registrant and project, and should describe the sort of change being done in that branch. For instance, "rework-decorator-API", or "fix-bug-42123", or "improve-timeout-warning".

If you don't have a project to push that branch to

If you are working on an actual open source project, you should register the project first: https://launchpad.net/projects/+new-guided -- but if it's just an experiment, or throwaway code, you can host it using Launchpad's NonProjectBranches.
