Working with Bzr branches and Launchpad

Cloning a branch

To clone a branch from Launchpad, you will need to issue the bzr branch command with the branch location as the second parameter. You can find this branch location from the branch overFor example, to clone the manual tests branch, run:

  bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual-tests

This will clone the ubuntu-manual-tests branch to the current directory as a subdirectory with the branch name. If you want a different directory name, you can append the directory name you wish as the third parameter for the bzr command.

You can get the branch command/name for any branch from its overview page in Launchpad. For example, for the manual tests this would be https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests.
