Edit a branch in a repository

You must be a Helix DAM admin or the project admin to edit a branch in a repository.

Edit the branch to make changes to it:

  1. Open the repository to add the branch to.

  2. Click Manage branches at the top right of the page below your avatar.

    The Manage branches pane opens.

  3. Click and select Edit.

    The Edit branch dialog opens.

  4. Edit the Branch display name for the Helix DAM collection. The name cannot contain any spaces or special characters, but it can contain the minus (-) and underscore (_) characters.

  5. Edit the File path for the branch to link to.

    • The file path must start with // followed by an existing depot name.

    • Wildcards should not be used; the only exception is that the branch file path can end with the Helix Core Server wildcard ...

    • Branch file paths are case sensitive.

    • If using multiple file paths, add each path on a separate line.

    • Branch paths are processed in order, starting with the first file path in the list.

    Example:

      //depot/game1/assets/...

      //depot/game1/test/ResultSummary.html

      The first path includes all of the directories and files under //depot/game1/assets/... in the branch.

      The second path includes the ResultSummary.html file from the //depot/game1/test/ directory.

  6. Click Save.

    The branch is updated.
