Module command_branch_table 

The complete Git 2.56.0 option table of git branch. What: The complete option table of git branch in Git 2.56.0. Why: Whether git branch <name> creates a branch depends on which action options were given, and whether a token is a name depends on each option’s arity. Rows follow options[] in cmd_branch (builtin/branch.c:992-1050) in source order.

In TS you’d write (pseudocode):

// export const BRANCH_TABLE: readonly OptionSpec[] = [ ... ];

Constants

BRANCH_TABLE

What: pub const NAME: &[OptionSpec] = &[...] is a table baked into the program. Why: --contains and its relatives are PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT: they take the next token unless they are last. --color, --abbrev, --column and --track take an attached value only, so git branch --color name creates name.
