What are +junk branches?
- Keywords:
- branch code junk junk bazaar personal non-project
Usually, when you register a Bazaar branch with Launchpad you specify 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.
