Hi André,

I suspect that the command you used was `git branch <name> <commit>`? That
_creates_ the branch, but does not switch to it. You need to call `git
switch <name>` to switch the worktree to it. If you want to do all in one
go, use `git switch -c <name> <commit>`.

Ciao,
Johannes
The possible bug:
The newly created branch is missing commits in the history. Not only are they
not displayed, the code changes are not present.
It doesn't matter if the branch is created by Visual Studio or GIT for
Windows.
Only in a branch created by GitHub Desktop the commits are present, as I would
expect.

Is this a bug or do I not understand how GIT works?

Best regards and thank you for the effort
