Answer 1

To move a branch from one repository to another without using code, you can follow these steps manually. Here's a simple guide based on the outline you shared:

Steps to Move a Branch (Branch1) from devrepo to UATRepo:

1. Clone the Source Repository (devrepo)

• Open a terminal or Git Bash and run:

  
       git clone https://your-url-to-devrepo.git
  
  

  • Navigate to the cloned repository:

    
         cd devrepo
    
    

2. Checkout the Branch You Want to Move

• After you navigate to the source repo, checkout the specific branch (Branch1):

  
       git checkout Branch1
  
  

3. Add the Target Repository (UATRepo) as a Remote

• Add the UATRepo as a new remote:

  
       git remote add UATRepo https://your-url-to-UATRepo.git
  
  

4. Push the Branch to the Target Repository

• Push Branch1 to the UATRepo:

  
       git push UATRepo Branch1
  
  

Without Coding (Using GUI Tools):

If you're using a GUI like GitHub Desktop, Azure DevOps, or SourceTree, you can do the following:

1. Clone the source repo using the GUI interface.
2. Switch to the branch you want to move (Branch1).
3. Add the target repository (UATRepo) as a new remote in the GUI.
4. Push the branch to the UATRepo by selecting it from the GUI's push or publish options.

No coding is needed for these actions, and the GUI will guide you with buttons to clone, checkout, add remotes, and push branches.
