Summary

A Flow Control operation, similar to Fork, but with the goal of carrying out the subsequent operations in the recipe on the same input, rather than chaining them together and operating on the output of the previous operation as normal.

Example

Input

I don't really like the name 'Branch' because it's too close to 'Fork' and would lead to confusion, but I can't think of a more suitable name at the moment.

Contributor guide
