The following situation: I wanted to create a branch from a commit. From there on the work should be continued.
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 André Pohlmann
