To see what happens when commands are added to a branch, run an altcmd session and use the 'name' command. This is just a command that is provided for doing some basic testing. It lets you enter a name, and that's it.

   C:\Alt> altcmd origin
   Opened origin (current branch is origin)
   [1]> name Dave
   [2]>

Notice that having entered a name, the prompt number increases. This means that additional command data has been written. Here is the command data in 1.json:

{
  "CmdName": "NameCmdLine",
  "Sequence": 1,
  "CreatedAt": "2019-09-10T19:33:23.8215795Z",
  "Name": "Dave"
}

Every command data file contains three properties:

  • CmdName is a name that identifies the command. It will usually correspond to a class or interface name, but any sort of identifier could be used.

  • Sequence is the sequence number of the command (in a FileStore, this will match the number of the command data file). The command that creates a branch is always number 0.

  • CreatedAt is the time when the command was entered.

Any additional properties depend on the value for CmdName.
