Create a branch in the CLI

1. To create a new branch, run the

   cm branch

   command:

   cm branch main/fix-1342

   If you don’t specify a changeset, the new branch branches off the latest changeset on the parent branch. To specify a changeset, use the

   --changeset

   or

   --label

   modifier.
2. Run the

   cm switch

   command to switch your workspace to the new branch:

   <Note>  cm switch main/fix-1342</Note>Performing switch operation...Searching for changed items in the workspace...Setting the new selector...Plastic is updating your workspace. Wait a moment, please...The workspace c:\Users\pablo\wkspaces\quake_path is up-to-date (cset:573@quake@localhost:6060)
