Branches

Branches are lightweight pointers to specific commits, representing independent lines of development within a repository. They let developers work on features or fixes in isolation, safely experimenting without affecting the main codebase.

Manage Branches

The Manage Branches option in the JadeGit Changes repository menu shows a window with all local and remote branches. The history table on this window displays a graph and commit information such as the message, author, and date.

From here, you can switch branches (double-click), and perform additional actions via the branch context menu (refer to sub-pages). While holding Ctrl or Shift, you can also select up to five branches to be viewed in the commit history graph.

View History

The View History option provides a simpler view, showing the commit history for the current branch. This lets you quickly see changes and understand the timeline of development for a single branch.
