Branch Swapping in Glass View

Ideas Feature Requests

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Unable to change branch in Glass View

Steps to Reproduce

Make some changes on main branch
Use “Commit & Push”, Cursor will create a new branch and push
Use “Create PR” button
Merge PR in Cursor
Try to change branch without ‘git checkout’

Expected Behavior

I should be able to branch swap like I can in editor view rather than having to use the CLI for git commands.

The ability might already be there but it’s not clear if so. The branch names I see, when clicked just copy to clipboard.

Operating System

MacOS

Version Information

Cursor IDE 2.7.0-pre.162.patch.0

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. The branch selector in Glass View is currently limited, so what you’re seeing copying the branch name on click is the expected behavior right now, not really a bug.

The team is aware and it’s on the radar. For now, as a workaround, you can use the terminal right in Cursor, like git checkout main, etc.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you! Glad to see it’s on the radar, will use the workaround until then :slight_smile:
