Stashes & Branch Management

Manage Git branches and temporary stashes inside Lumide.

Branches#

Switching Branches#

• Click the Branch Name in the bottom status bar.
• Or run Git: Checkout to... from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P).
• Select a local or remote branch from the picker.

Creating a Branch#

1. Open the branch picker.
2. Select + Create new branch....
3. Type the branch name and press Enter.

Several Repositories#

In a workspace with several repositories, branches are switched and created in the active repository, the one of the file you are editing; the branch indicator's menu says which. Turn on Branch Operations in All Repositories (git.sync_branch_operations) to switch and create them in every repository at once. See Several Repositories.

Deleting a Branch#

In the C.O.R.G.I. sidebar, right-click any branch under the branch list and select Delete Branch.

Git Stashing#

Shelve uncommitted modifications without committing:

Creating a Stash#

1. In C.O.R.G.I., open the ... (More Actions) menu.
2. Select Stash Changes (or Stash Changes (Include Untracked)).
3. Type an optional message and press Enter.
4. Working tree returns to a clean HEAD state.

Git: Stash Changes and Git: Unstash Latest from the Git menu or the Command Palette act on the active repository and name it when the workspace has several.

Managing Stashes#

Expand the Stashes section in C.O.R.G.I.:

• Apply Stash: Reapplies the changes while keeping the stash entry.
• Pop Stash: Reapplies the changes and deletes the stash entry.
• Drop Stash: Discards the stash permanently.

Next Steps#

• Debugging & Running — DAP debugger controls.
• Launch Configurations — launch.json profiles.
