Coverity on Polaris can track testing results across different branches and revisions
of a single project. You might, for example, use a branch for the development of each new
feature, then use another branch to track official releases. The first branch you scan will be
your main-for-project branch, which will be your default branch unless you change it
independently to display project issues for all users in the Coverity on Polaris Web Interface
or, for incremental analysis, in the Coverity on Polaris CLI. When you view a project in
Coverity on Polaris, you see information about one branch of the project. The Project Admin
can select a default branch for all users and delete branches from the Web Interface.
Individual users can select preferred branches for viewing in the project summary.
Note: Changes made in the Web Interface have no impact on the repository.

- Selecting the Default Branch for a Project
