Branch switcher

Docs work usually happens on a branch: a fix here, a new section there. Atlas lets you switch branches from the top bar, so you can move between them without dropping to a terminal.

Switching branches

Open the switcher to see your branches, with the current one marked. For a repo with many branches, start typing to filter the list, then pick the one you want.

When you switch, Atlas checks out the branch and reloads the workspace so the files, navigation, and history all reflect the branch you are now on.

Heads up

Commit or set aside your changes before switching branches. Switching checks out different files, just like git checkout in a terminal.
