Hi

I am working on a project and need help. I am using JGit for my version control system.

Basically, I can create branches.

What I would like to do is, once I have created the branch I would like to commit into the same branch each time. Is there a way of doing this through JGit?

Just to add to this:

Each time I return the branch name it returns master. As soon as I change view in the GUI, and when I execute the code again the return branch name is the 1 I created. So is there any way of setting branch name as the default?

With Git the commit command is always acting on the currently checked out local branch.
So if you want to commit to a different branch you first need to checkout this other branch.
