Create a personal stream

Creates a personal stream. Personal streams are private development branches that enable you to:

  • Isolate work from an existing stream

When you are working with other developers on a stream, but are not ready to merge your changes, you can backup and isolate your work from the team by committing it to a personal stream in the repository.

  • Create a new stream based on a work area

You are working on changes in a work area but the changes cannot be delivered to the associated stream. For example, the stream may be locked or the feature has been dropped from the release. To preserve your work you can create a new personal stream based on the entire contents of the work area.

Only visible to the originator.
