Managing Branches

IntelliJ IDEA supports processing of multiple Git branches using sophisticated checkout and merge strategies, and provides an interface for configuring operations on branches.

To manage branches, use the Branches node and the nested commands. This node is available on:

• the main VCS menu
• context menu of the editor
• VCS operations pop-up

In this part:

• Accessing Git Branches Popup Menu
• Creating a New Branch
• Checking Out (Switching Between) Branches
• Merging, Deleting, and Comparing Branches
• Rebasing Branches
• Resetting Head Commit
• Resetting Branch Head to a Selected Commit
• Applying Changes from a Specific Commit to Other Branches (Cherry Picking)
• Git Branches in Multirooted Projects
