remove a branch

## NAME

aegis new branch undo - remove a branch

## SYNOPSIS

**aegis** **-New\_BRanch\_Undo** *number* \[ *option*... \]\
 **aegis** **-New\_BRanch\_Undo** **-Help**

## DESCRIPTION

The *aegis -New\_BRanch\_Undo* command is used to remove a branch created with the [*aenbr*(1)](/aenbr/1.md) command.

**Note:** This command will completely remove all trace of the branch from Aegis' database.  This includes all changes performed on the branch and all of its sub-branches.  (This history remains in the history files, but is inaccessible.)

If you wish to finish development of a branch, and commit all of its changes to the parent branch, use the [*aede*(1)](/aede/1.md) command, instead.

If you wish to stop anyone from developing more changes on the branch, use the [*aerd*(1)](/aerd/1.md) command to remove all the developers.

## OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

- **-Change** *number*

  This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) for a complete description of this option.

- **-Help**

  This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the *aegis* program.

- **-Keep**

  This option may be used to retain files and/or directories usually deleted or replaced by the command. Defaults to the user's *delete\_file\_preference* if not specified, see [*aeuconf*(5)](/aeuconf/5.md) for more information.

- **-No\_Keep**

  This option may be used to ensure that the files and/or directories are deleted or replaced by the command. Defaults to the user's *delete\_file\_preference* if not specified, see [*aeuconf*(5)](/aeuconf/5.md) for more information.

- **-Project** *name*

  This option may be used to select the project of interest. When no **-Project** option is specified, the *AEGIS\_PROJECT* environment variable is consulted. If that does not exist, the user's *$HOME/.aegisrc* file is examined for a default project field (see [*aeuconf*(5)](/aeuconf/5.md) for more information). If that does not exist, when the user is only working on changes within a single project, the project name defaults to that project. Otherwise, it is an error.

- **-Wait**

  This option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access locks, if they cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's *lock\_wait\_preference* if not specified, see [*aeuconf*(5)](/aeuconf/5.md) for more information.

- **-No\_Wait**

  This option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error if access locks cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's *lock\_wait\_preference* if not specified, see [*aeuconf*(5)](/aeuconf/5.md) for more information.

See also [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) for options common to all aegis commands.

All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (\_) are optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the **-Project** option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.

Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the function selectors.\

The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for *aegis* are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "**--***option***=***value*" convention is also understood.

## EXIT STATUS

The *aegis* command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The *aegis* command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See [*aepconf*(5)](/aepconf/5.md) for the project configuration file's *project\_specific* field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
