= 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 [https://code.launchpad.net/people/+me 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 [https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/Registering 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 [https://code.launchpad.net/people/+me/+addbranch 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```
