如何在 Visual Studio 中从远程服务器查看新的 GIT 分支？

Question

I am using visual studio 2017 and GIT.

I can connect to the GIT project, branch and pull the code.

But when a new branch is created on remote server, it cannot be seen in visual studio branches section.

How to view the new GIT branch from remote server in visual studio?

Answer 1

The Team Explorer view ( you can see here ) should show you those branches under remotes/origin .

But you need to fetch first , before being able to see them in that section.

(this is an example for upstream, but in your case, select origin )

This assumes your local repository uses the default refpect

[remote "origin"]
    url = https://github.com/schacon/simplegit-progit
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

That would fetch all branches, included newly created ones on the remote repository.
