Manipulating branches/tags
Adding, Renaming and Deleting Branches and Tags
You can add, rename and delete branches and tags both from the main window and from the Log window.
Working Tree window
The Branches view on the working tree window has various context menu entries for adding, renaming and deleting selected branches and tags. These commands can also be invoked via the entries in the Branch menu.
Use Branch | Add Tag or Branch | Add Branch to create a tag or branch at the current HEAD.
Info
To sign an (annotated) tag, you need to have the GPG program and key configured in the repository settings.
Log Window
On the Log window, you can add a branch or tag on a commit by selecting the commit in the Log graph and invoking Add Branch or Add Tag in the commit’s context menu. Similarly, you can delete a branch or tag by selecting the commit to which the branch or tag pointer is attached and invoking Delete in the commit’s context menu.
Via the context menu of the Log window’s Branches view, you can add and delete branches and tags as well. In addition to that, the Branches view also allows you to rename branches.
