Branching

rapid branch

By using rapid branch, you can display all local or remote branches prefixed with an index. Given this feature this command will be your reference, whenever you work with any other branching command like rapid checkout or rapid rebase. Furthermore you can also use it to delete or even force delete any existing branch by using a representative index as reference.
