Support for basic git actions

[michaldivis]

Hi, is there a plan to include support for basic git commands in GitButler?

I mean:

• view other local/remote branches and switch to them
• merge/rebase branches
• resolve conflicts
• cherry pick

You should see all local and remote branches in the branch view. Here is the GitButler repo with lots of other peoples branches, only existing remotely.

You can "apply" them to your local workspace. This is the equivalent of "switching" to them. Keep in mind, that GitButler uses a new kind of branching system, which operates separately from git itself.

I'd check the roadmap - basic branch switching and merge/rebase are usually core before anything else. If you're seeing remote branches but can't switch, it's likely the branch picker isn't wired to git checkout yet. For conflicts, GitButler tends to surface them in the UI but you'll still need to resolve in your editor and stage the result. Cherry-pick support is often added after merge/rebase is stable. If you want to test, run git branch -a to confirm remotes are fetched, then try git switch <branch> manually. If that works but Butler doesn't, it's a UI gap, not a Git one. You could also open an issue tagging "improvement" with the exact flow you expect - the maintainers usually prioritize based on that.
