How To View a Branch

Say you want to do a quick check on the progress for the PCB board

use the following commands in git bash

"git checkout [name of branch]"

In the case that KiCad is not updating automatically use the following procedure:

• open project file with "open with..." in file directory

If you quickly want to check when the last changes were done to a branch use

"git log"

scroll up & you will see the most recent commit and who did it
