Manipulating branches/tags

Adding, Renaming and Deleting Branches and Tags

You can add, rename and delete branches and tags both from the project window and from the Log window.

Project Window

The Branches view on the project 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.

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.
