Where is Checkout command on 0.45.3 version?

[mbisax]

I use Arch Linux and I installed version 0.45.3 from the previous one. Now, when I right-click on a commit, the Checkout command does not appear. Am I doing something wrong or is this something wanted? In this case, how do I checkout a commit? Thanks in advance.

The checkout button is only on branches on the left. (To checkout a specific commit that doesn't have a branch pointing at it, you need to make a temporary branch)

Thanks, very much, for the reply. I'm curious: why was the ability to checkout a commit removed like in previous versions? I checked MeGit that I hadn't used for a long time, since I chose GitFiend for its simplicity, and the ability to check-out a specific commit is still possible.

Thanks in advance.

The closest thing GitFiend has to this feature is the ability to reset your branch to a certain commit, but it will remove commits if it's the only branch pointing to them. I'm not sure the best way to implement the checkout commit feature. My initial feeling was using a detached head would be annoying, but I never tried it.
