# Providing the project branch In modern software development branches are widely used, and Meterian provides a report for each of them. If you use Git, the client usually detects automatically some basic information, including the current branch, but when this is not possible you can simply specify on the command line the parameter `--project-branch=name-of-your-branch` to enforce the branch name. A common scenario is when you are running within a CI system, which may not checkout the whole branch but just detach the head at a certain commit: please refer to the documentation of your CI system. You can also provide the project url (`--project-url`) and the current commit (`--project-commit`) if you want, but usually this information are automatically detected by the client. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.meterian.io/the-client/using-client-ci-cd/providing-the-project-branch.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
