Resetting to a branch¶

If you want your branch to be exactly the same as another, you can use the qruise kb reset command. Suppose you have the following branches:

$ qruise kb branch
  branch_1
* branch_2

If you want the current branch (branch_2) to be exactly like branch_1, simply run:

qruise kb reset branch_1
