Helpful Git Commands

Orphan branch

In the VBAToolkit repository, the publication branch is an orphan one. This means that there is no parent relationship between publication and other branches, including master. So the publication branch may stay simple. publication and master are both tagged with publication version numbers. The publication branch contains the VBAToolKit.xlam in the Delivery folder, and Documentation in the dedicated folder. Images for the Wiki are in the Images subfolder of Documentation folder.

An orphan branch was created with the command git checkout --orphan publication.
