Enter-NBBranch

Since

v4.4.10.0

SYNOPSIS

Enters a branch context for subsequent Netbox API operations.

SYNTAX

ByName (Default)

Enter-NBBranch [-Name] <String> [-PassThru] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

ById

Enter-NBBranch -Id <UInt64> [-PassThru] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Sets the active branch context so that all subsequent Netbox API calls will operate within the specified branch. This works like Push-Location and can be nested. Use Exit-NBBranch to leave the branch context.

The branching plugin must be installed on the Netbox server.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Enter-NBBranch -Name "feature/new-datacenter" Enter the branch named "feature/new-datacenter".

EXAMPLE 2

``` Enter-NBBranch -Name "outer" Enter-NBBranch -Name "inner"

Now in "inner" context

Exit-NBBranch # Back to "outer" Exit-NBBranch # Back to main Demonstrates nested branch contexts. ```

EXAMPLE 3

$branch = Enter-NBBranch -Name "feature" -PassThru Enter branch and capture the branch object.
