This is something which should've been written down long ago. This is a follow-up upon
another question from Julia Evans in Discord.
Thank you again for asking such good questions.
Add an option to list tracked branches only
This option keeps most of the current `--all` printing logic, but:
- Omits local Git-tracking branches by default (can be extended to
support filtering by remote).
- Skip over the branch altogether if it doesn't contain tracked remotes
- Don't print the untracked_remote_refs at the end
Usage:
`jj branch list -t`
`jj branch list --tracked`
`jj branch list --tracked <branch name>`
This follows up on #2625 and updates all sections of `branches.md` to represent
the new default of `git.auto-local-branch=false`.
I realized that the paragraph we discussed for so long with @PhilipMetzger
actually repeats information that was already present a bit earlier in the file.
So, I removed most of it and moved the rest. Sorry I didn't notice this earler.
## The callout
Unfortunately, GitHub and MkDocs use different syntax for admonitions.
The callout looks like this in MkDocs:

Use `poetry run -- mkdocs serve` to double-check.
It's useful to know when you've modified a branch that exists on a
remote. A typical case is when you have pushed a branch to a remote
and then rewritten it. This commit adds an indication in the
`branches` template keyword. A branch that needs to be pushed to a
remote now has a `*` at the end (similar to how conflicted branches
have a `?` at the end). Note that the indication only considers
remotes where the branch currently exists, so there won't be an
indication that the branch has not been pushed to a remote.
Closes#254
I wanted to have all the documentation available on the command line,
but that makes it harder to maintain and link to. Let's move it to
markdown instead. We may later be able to add some way of presenting
the markdown in the terminal (or maybe by first converting it to
reStructuredText).
