The Source Code Manager offers a graphic interface for editing branches to optimize the management of branches in your projects. This visualization provides a synthetic vision of the project life.
Branch management window

Displaying the window for branch management

To open the branch management window, on the "SCM" tab, in the "Project" group, expand "Branches" and select "Manage branches"..
Remark: If the "Display all the revisions" option is unchecked, intermediate check-ins will not be displayed, thus providing an even more concise view.

Options available from the branch management window

The context menu of the circle in the "Branch" column allows several operations on the selected branch.
You can:
  • Change the branch color: This option allows you to change the color associated with the branch. In the color selector that appears, select the desired color and confirm.
    Remark: This color is also used in the editor when you work on a branch.
  • Change the branch description: This option allows you to change the description associated with the branch. In the window that is displayed, specify the new description and validate.
    Remark: This description is also used in the editor when you work on a branch.
  • Create a branch from this revision: This option allows you to create branches afterwards. The branch creation wizard starts immediately. For more details, see Creating a branch.
  • Merge with this branch: This option allows you to retrieve the modifications made in the branch. For more details, see Retrieving modifications performed in a branch.
  • Delete this branch: This option allows you to delete the selected branch (for example if it becomes obsolete. In this case, the SCM asks you to confirm the deletion of the branch (this action cannot be undone).
