Question

Options

• A'magento-cloud environment:branch feature-xyz staging'
• B'magento-cloud git:branch feature-xyz staging'
• C'magento-cloud environment:create --name feature-xyz --parent staging'
• D'magento-cloud new:environment feature-xyz --from staging'

• A
  76% (48)
• B
  14% (9)
• C
  3% (2)
• D
  6% (4)

Explanation

Option A is correct because magento-cloud environment:branch is the purpose-built command that simultaneously creates a new Git branch and provisions a corresponding cloud environment, with the syntax environment:branch <new-name> <parent> - making feature-xyz a child of staging.

• B is wrong because git:branch is not a valid magento-cloud subcommand; it conflates the native git branch command with the cloud CLI.
• C is wrong because environment:create does exist, but it provisions an environment from an already-existing branch - it does not create the Git branch itself, so it's a two-step process, not one.
• D is wrong because new:environment is not a real magento-cloud command; the --from flag is invented and doesn't exist in the CLI.

Memory tip: Think of environment:branch as doing double duty - like git checkout -b, it handles both the branch and the environment in one shot. If you see a command that sounds like it only touches Git (git:branch) or only sounds like infrastructure (environment:create), it's doing half the job.
