Description tomashnyk 2025-11-04 12:51:42 UTC 
When I am using the git plugin and want to checkout a branchm it lists both remote and local branches. I usually only care about local branches, the remotes one are just clutter for me. I can imagine people who care for both, especially when they collaborate with otehrs nad pull their branches frequently.

It would be good if it were possible to optinoally (or by default, not sure), only list local branches. Essentially the same output that "git branch" gives.

good suggestion. Also a pain point for myself.  The idea I have is to sort the branches such that locals are listed first, then remote branches
Comment 2 tomashnyk 2025-11-06 09:02:45 UTC 
I personally would prefer to hide them altogether, but at least sorting them would be improvement too!

This is now done.
