Is there any command to open list of branches in VS Code?

There is a command git.branch in VS Code keyboards shortcuts. This command opens dialog to create new branch.

I can not find the command to open list of all branches. Is there any command for it?

Solution

  • Yes, there is the git: Checkout to... command. It displays the picker including all known branches. You can execute this command also by clicking on the current branch name displayed on the statusbar's left side.

    Look for the command git.checkout in case you want to create a keybinding for it. If you add the following code to your keybindings.json then you will trigger the command by typing SHIFT+ALT+G:

    {
    "key": "shift+alt+g",
    "command": "git.checkout"
}
