Status Bar Git Branch Picker
Switch and create branches straight from the status bar. The redesigned picker groups your most recently used branches with relative dates, so the branch you were just on is one click away instead of buried in an alphabetical list.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Jumping between a feature branch and main shouldn't mean opening a separate Git view and scrolling an alphabetical list. Putting a full branch picker in the status bar — with your recently used branches on top — makes the branches you actually work on immediately reachable, and lets you create, fetch, sync, and open worktrees without leaving your code.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Click the branch name
Open the picker straight from the branch indicator in the status bar.
Grab a recent branch
Your most recently used branches sit at the top, grouped with relative dates, so the last one you touched is one click away.
Create inline
Make a new branch right in the picker, then fetch and sync without opening a separate Git view.
Jump to a worktree
Switch to an existing worktree from the same picker to keep parallel branches in separate folders.
