How to perform Subversion's switch in PHPStorm

Question

Is it possible to make a switch Subversion command from interface of PHPStrom? I'm searching for it and searching and can't find it.

Solution 1

Unsure of the version of PHP Storm you're using but...

Right click your project, Subversion > Update Directory...

You must hold Shift if you don't see the ellipses because you unchecked the "Display options dialog when these commands are invoked" option (see comments below).

Solution 2

If you set "Don't show this window again" checkbox in "Update" dialog you can press Shift key when clicking "VCS Update" button or hold it when selecting "Update Directory" to be able to switch branches.

Newest EAP Version. But I don't want to update my working copy. I want to switch working copy to another branch.

Yep, poor naming on PHPStorm's part, the update directory can perform a switch too...

Ohhh. I checked that I don't want to show that update window on next updates and forgot, that was such thing. That's why I didn't see switch options. Thanks! :)

2singles: where can i revert that flag to show this window again?

[Radek Benkel]

@Skay: Settings -> Version Control (Project settings) -> Confirmation and there you will have: "Display options dialog when these commands are invoked" box with "Update" and "Checkout".

if you see Update Directory without the ellipses (...) you need to change your settings as @singles directs.

Does anyone know what happens to shelved changes when you switch branch like this?

a few years later ... @PeterBagnall you can still unshelve them ... it works like a patch/merge
