#### Examples

- Add a branch to my Git-Endevor mapping 'MY-CONTEXT / MY-MAPPING' using the default EBG and Endevor profile:

  - `zowe endevor-bridge-for-git create branch MY-CONTEXT MY-MAPPING MY-BRANCH --endevor-environment ENVNAME --endevor-system SYSNAME --endevor-subsystem SUBNAME`

- Add a branch to my Git-Endevor mapping 'MY-CONTEXT / MY-MAPPING' using the default EBG and Endevor profile by using another branch as a template with different environment:

  - `zowe endevor-bridge-for-git create branch MY-CONTEXT MY-MAPPING MY-BRANCH --like TEMPLATE_BRANCH --endevor-environment DIFFERENT_ENVIRONMENT`

- Add a branch to my Git-Endevor mapping 'MY-CONTEXT / MY-MAPPING' using the default EBG and Endevor profile by using another branch as a template with different system/subsystem:

  - `zowe endevor-bridge-for-git create branch MY-CONTEXT MY-MAPPING MY-BRANCH --like TEMPLATE_BRANCH --endevor-system DIFFERENT_SYSTEM --endevor-subsystem DIFFERENT_SUBSYSTEM`
