Overview
Usually, when you register a Bazaar branch with Launchpad, the branch is marked as associated with a particular project.
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.
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
