Switch

Switching branches in JadeGit, also known as “checking out”, changes your current branch. This operation is blocked when there are uncommitted changes. Switching branches triggers an internal deployment to update schema entities to match the target branch.

Checkout

Switch between local branches using the drop-down in the JadeGit Changes explorer, which shows the current branch.

When creating a new branch, selecting Checkout (load & set) will switch to it after creation.

When managing branches, the current branch is highlighted in blue. You can switch to a branch by using Checkout in the branch context menu, or by double-clicking the branch. If a remote branch is selected, a corresponding local branch will automatically be created to switch to.

Checkout (--detach)

From the commit context menu in any history view, Checkout (--detach) switches to the selected commit in a detached state.

When managing branches, Checkout Tip Commit (--detach) in the branch context menu switches to the tip of the selected branch in a detached state.
