Git toolbar text no longer containing branch name Follow
Hello,
I am wondering how I am able to enable so that I can see which "branch" is currently being worked on without opening the "GIT" "commit" / tab.
In previous versions prior to 2021.3 the "GIT" tab was being shown by the branch name instead which was super helpful. However, now it is just displaying "GIT" and I am unable to find out how to swap it back to the other option.
And if it is not possible I would want this added back as option, because it was so much better that way.

This is my toolbar:
In the newest version the branch information moved there. You can toggle this using View -> Appearance -> Toolbar
If you switch to Classic Toolbar, you can see it in the status line
Hi there,
Sascha Andres is right.
I only want to add that to switch to classic toolbar, use menu "View > Appearance > Toolbar Classic". To enable status bar, use "View > Appearance > Status Bar".

Hey again,
Thanks - I guess I am just too used to look in my bottom right corner at the "GIT" tab and not the new "toolbar" which now contains this information instead.
I guess that complements the missing "branch" name on "GIT".
Thanks.
So what can I do to get the branch button back in the lower right? Like, what UX expert is sitting there and going "let's completely re-arrange the UI and hope people don't care?"
Hi Davidrickey!
Thank you for your feedback! We have a feature request for improvements: RIDER-70907.
As a workaround, one can switch back to the Classic toolbar:
