Can I make an alternative branch the trunk in fossil

Is it possible to change the tag on a branch to make it replace the trunk without merging?

Update: I solved it, I also see now that it doesnt matter trunk is nothing more than a name, you can close it and use another.

Solution

  • Found the answer. Its very simple.

    IN Web ui

    • Go to the current trunk, select its current leaf and under other links select edit.

    • Go to the current leaf of the branch you wish to make the trunk and select edit.
    • Select "Add the following new tag name to this check-in:" and add tag 'Trunk'
    • Select update. Your selected branch is now also labeled trunk.
