Hide or Un-Hide Different Branch's Features from Current Branch?

Let's say, I've created a new git repository, named GitTest. Currently, it contains only one branch (main). Now, in jupyter lab, I clone this repo and go to the GitTest folder. After that, in jupyter-lab, there is a Git extension on the left side. From there, I created a new branch called add_text from the main branch. I added some dummy text files and commits and push to the remote repository. Now, if I go to the GitTest folded, I can see some dummy text files, which come from the add_test branch.

Now, again I created a new branch from the main branch, called it add_html, and set it as a current branch. So my current branch is add_html. Now, if I go to the GitTest folder to add some dummy HTML, I can still view the dummy text file which I added from the add_text branch. And I think it should not be visible by now as I switch to another branch.

Is it expected? (This behavior is unlike to VS-Code. ).

Update

It happens in a special case. Let's say I've the following branches:

• main
• branch_1
• branch_2
• branch_3

And, currently, I'm on branch_2. But next, I want to create a new branch from the main branch. To do that, I've to switch to the main branch first. Even though I selected the main branch from the pop-up window. Please see the image file below.

Above, my current branch is check_make. And I wanted to create a new branch, called New Brach from the main branch. To successfully do that, I've to first switch to the main branch from the check_make branch. Otherwise, a new branch will be created from check_make even if I selected the main branch from the pop-up window.

@innat thanks for reporting the issue. Which extension version are you using?

The latest v0.36.0 contains a fix for a similar issue (https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-git/issues/1089).

It's git version 2.20.1

Would you mind testing the latest jupyterlab-git version to see if that error is still there?

To upgrade, execute:

pip install -U jupyterlab-git
