Branches

Branches, remote branches, tags, stashes, worktrees, submodules and subtrees are listed in the sidebar of the Git module. Right-click any of them for what you can do with it.

Create a branch

Repository › New Branch… (⇧⌘B on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+B on Linux).
From a branch's context menu, New Branch….
From a commit's context menu, Create Branch from '…'…; from a tag, Create Branch from '…'….
Repository › Create Branch from Selected Commit….

The dialog checks the name as you type and can check the new branch out at once.

Check out a branch

Repository › Checkout Branch… (⌘B / Ctrl+B), or Checkout in the branch's context menu. To look at a commit without a branch, use Checkout Commit… from the commit's context menu or Repository › Checkout Selected Commit; HEAD is then detached.

Track a remote branch

Checkout on a remote branch creates a local branch that tracks it. Every local branch shows how many commits it is ahead of and behind its upstream.

Delete a branch

Delete… in the branch's context menu. tratto shows the commit the branch points at and asks you to confirm before it deletes it.

Merge '…' into '…'…, or drag a branch onto another: see Merge, cherry-pick & revert.
Create Pull Request…: see Pull requests.
Notify me or Mute for activity on that branch: see Notifications.

Not there yet

Renaming a branch is not supported yet: there is no rename in the app or in its Git core.
