1. Always use the local feature/api_doc as the starting point
git checkout feature/api_doc
2. Update your local repository
git fetch origin
3. Set the command options
When creating a new branch, set up configuration to mark the start-point branch as “upstream” from the new branch.
--track
Create the branch’s reflog. This activates recording of all changes made to the branch ref, enabling use of date based sha1 expressions such as “<branchname>@{yesterday}”.
-l
The name of the new branch
"MobileUserDocs"
Issue the command
git branch –track -l MobileUserDocs
4. Checkout the new branch
And start working on the AuthID End User documentation.
checkout MobileUserDocs
5. Update your .gitignore file to exclude oXygen’s temp files
doc/user/v1/source/mobile-content/temp
6. Add the new content files to the local repo
Use Stage Changed to get all of the new source files, as well as the 3rdParty.css fileds, the tsmobile.ditamap file, the .project file, and the .gitignore file.
E.g., commit message
First draft of End User documentation.
