Select the needed branch from the list. If your project is connected to a remote repository, the list contains remote and local branches. Remote branches start with
refs/remotes/, and local branches withrefs/heads/.Click Create Branch to create a new local branch. ReadyAPI automatically switches to the created branch. To push the branch to a remote repository, push your changes.

You cannot switch to a remote branch that already has a local snapshot. To get recent changes from the remote branch, select a local branch and pull the changes.
