I've just started using "GitHub for Windows", and I can't figure out how to see other branches (or create other branches).
The help page mentions this feature, and even shows a screenshot, but does not detail how to get to it.
I am aware of how to create and checkout branches from the command line, but I would like to do this from within the UI.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Typically, you might create a branch from the default branch of your repository. You can then work on this new branch in isolation from changes that other people are making to the repository. You can also create a branch starting from a previous commit in a branch's history.
Found it! It's actually very easy when you realise where to look. The name of your branch is shown next to the "sync" or "push to github" button. Clicking on this shows all the existing branches, as well as a text box to create a new one:
