Switch branches with tortoisegit
I cloned a git respository on my hard disc. This git repository contains not only the master but also a branch called newBranch. How can I checkout the new branch with tortoisegit?
I tried it with the switch/checkout command but nothing changed in my local files. What works is when I clone the two branches in different folders lik开发者_运维技巧e but I want to get it working with tortoisegit.
git clone localhost:testProject
differs from
git clone localhost:testProject newBranch
You have a checkbox option Force
when switching branches in TortoiseGit.
Other than that, I must admit I'm stumped to.
This is what worked for me:
- Right click base folder and choose "Git Clone...".
- In the popup, give the Git repository path, choose appropriate local folder
- select the Branch option and type-in your branch name. Click Ok.
Go to settings from the context menu. General->Context Menu->Select 'Switch/Checkout'.
Afterwards it will be visible in the context menu.
