Hiding and Soloing

Last updated: May 2025

The Left Panel allows you to modify the view of the graph for cleanliness and focus. Hide references you don’t need, or spotlight a branch for a Solo.


Hide

Hides the selected branch from the Commit Graph.

To hide a branch, mouse over that branch in the Left Panel, and you will see the eye icon appear to the left of the branch name; click this to hide. Or perform this task by right-clicking a branch and selecting Hide from the context menu.

Hidden branches will now have a gray eye icon. Clicking this will restore that repo to the graph.

Solo

Soloing a branch will hide all other branches which have not been soloed, showing only soloed branches.

To solo a branch, right-click the branch and select Solo. This initiates Solo Mode, with soloed branches highlighted in orange and with a solid orange icon to the left of the branch name.

Solo/unsolo additional branches by clicking on the semi-opaque icon to the left of that branch’s name.

Consider hiding/soloing entire remotes if you only need about two remotes, and then hiding everything else.

Hide or Show all refs

You may hide or show all remotes, tags, branches, or stashes from the Left Panel. Simply right-click on the header for the Local, Remotes, Tags, or Stashes pane in the Left Panel to access the options.
