Branch and remotes

Fetch, pull, push, and branch switch for the workspace you have open. Desktop puts branch switching on Overview; Mobile puts it on the Git tab.

Where it differs

Desktop

Branch switching lives on the Overview tab, not in the Git view. A dropdown at the top of Overview shows the live branch, grouped local and remote-tracking branches, and ahead/behind counts against the upstream.

Mobile

Those same controls sit on the Git tab. Fetch, Pull, Push, branch switch, remote checkout, and create-branch each ask for a confirmation that names the operation and the branch or remote. The branch list shows at most five rows at a time and can be filtered. Reload sits to the left of Fetch. A History button sits next to Push. Force push (--force-with-lease) appears only when a normal push is rejected.
  1. Switch

    Choosing a local branch switches to it. Choosing a remote-tracking branch checks it out and creates a local tracking branch when needed.

  2. Create

    A + control opens a field to create a branch from the current HEAD.

  3. Fetch, Pull, Push

    Force push is a confirmed --force-with-lease action, not an unconditional overwrite. On Mobile it is offered only after a rejected push, not as a toolbar button. Pull defaults to fast-forward only; if the histories have diverged, Agent-Up reports that instead of Git's raw abort text.

Switching refuses to run when Git itself would refuse, such as when the worktree has conflicting changes.
