Repository maintainers can't necessarily create branches. In some cases they may raise tickets requesting branches to be created for an upcoming release.

e.g. IT-25710 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Step-by-step guide

  1. Log in to the project gerrit, locate the relevant repository from the list, e.g. https://gerrit.onap.org/r/admin/repos
  2. Choose "branches" from the left-hand side navigation panel
  3. Choose "create new" and enter the branch name, being aware of case sensitivity
  4. By default you do NOT need to provide a revision if the branch is coming from master/main (it will auto-fill this if a checksum/Ref is not provided)
