Switching between branches or tags

Talend Studio allows you to switch between local branches of a project without the need of restarting it.

Note:

You can not switch to a remote branch. To work on a remote branch, you need to checkout it as a local one. For more information, see Checking out a remote branch as a local one.
Close all open editors in the design workspace before trying to switch to another branch or tag. If not, a warning message will display, informing you that all editors will be closed.

The switch operation may take some time. Wait until the operation is finalized. Then, the Repository tree view switches to show the project items of the selected branch. You can read the directory of the active branch on the top bar of the Repository view.

Procedure

Click the top bar of the Repository tree view to open a drop-down menu.
Select the target branch or tag from the drop-down menu, and then select Switch from the sub-menu.
There are at most ten local branches displayed by the modified time in the drop-down menu. If the target branch or tag is not in the drop-down menu, click All branches ... and in the dialog box displayed, select it and click Switch.
A dialog box will pop up if changes are found on the current branch. You can:
- click Commit to commit the files to your current branch and switch to the target branch.
- click Continue without commit to switch to the target branch without committing your changes. Your changes will be brought to the target branch.
