git compare with branch show lots of remote branch references
Answered
When I compare a file in another branch IJ lists all of the remote origins. Which in my case are hundres.
When I look at Git → Branches I see a filtered view with my local branches. How can I configure the diff dialog to only show local?
I know I can type and filter but due to the amount that is not practical.
Thanks,
Christian

Hi,
How exactly do you perform the compare? Can you please share a screenshot?
Here are the steps:
tap with two fingers on the files tab and choose Compare with branch. In the second screenshot I get this big amount of references to branches in origin/ which I never have checked out as a local branch.
Hi,
You may use search in this popup, please see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-302661/Sort-branches-in-Select-Branch-to-Compare-popup-add-visible-search (feel free to comment and vote)
Hi,
Yes this is the exact problem I have. But as I wrote in my question above I'm fully aware of that I can type and search, but the point of my question was that want to filter this list in some way as there is thousands of branches.
