Manage Git branches
Branches live in the branch selector, which shows the name of the branch that is currently checked out. You can find it in the task header, next to the workspace and the run environment, and in the title bar. Open it to search branches, create one, or switch to another.
A blue circle marks the branch that is currently checked out. The arrows next to a branch name count the commits that are not synced with the remote. See Check the branch state.
