Menu
In the Branches popup or in the Branches pane of the Git tool window, select the branch that you want to switch to under Local Branches and choose Checkout from the list of available operations.
To switch back, just provide the URL to the location in the repository from which you originally checked out your working copy: $ svn switch http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/trunk/vendors . U myproj/foo. txt U myproj/bar.
As of IntelliJ 11 the current Git branch is displayed in the bottom right corner of the status bar. Moreover, clicking on the branch name displays a nice popup with all available branches, and you can invoke some actions on them.
Just discovered switching branches is done using the update dialog (VCS -> Update Project, ⌘T), where I can select any branch, tag or revision I want.
For noobs like me that checked the "don't show this again" box in the beginning, and don't have the subversion update dialog prompting anymore, try this:
If I may say, this seems quite complex, if anyone has better, I would be glad to hear :-)
Just use the "Subversion" -> "Update Directory..." with options. In case the "Update options" dialog is turned off, here is how one can move it back:
If like me you hit "configure branches", and then chose the path of the branch you want - this is wrong! when in "configure branches" you need to select the path one level up from there
hopefully this helps someone like me...
