If you have many branches, you can choose, whether you want to display all of them in the branches popup, or just the favorites. To do this, toggle the Show Only Favorites and the Show x More commands at the bottom of the branches popup.

To mark a branch as a favorite, hover the mouse cursor over the branch name, and click the star outline that appears on the left: /help/img/idea/2017.1/GitFavoriteBranch.png. The current branch is marked as a favorite by default.
