Remote branch in Visual Studio online does not appear in Visual Studio 2015 Team Explorer

Question

I created a new Git repository in Visual Studio online. I cloned on my computer and I added it to the project. After that, I created a new branch called develop on Visual Studio online, and I tried to check its creation of a new local branch, but it does not appear in Team Explorer.

This is my Visual Studio online:

And this is Visual Studio 2015 Team Explorer:

Why doesn't Team development appear in Team Explorer?

Answer 1

Now you can do this in Visual Studio by going to the "Sync" tab ("Sync in the" Command "drop-down menu) and click" Fetch "at the top.

Answer 2

I solved my problem by opening the Git command line (following this instruction ) and doing git fetch to get a new branch.

Answer 3

I had the exact opposite problem (more or less): I could see the branch in Visual Studio, but it was not on the remote server.

An attempt to remove it (from a remote one) led to this error:

Error sending to remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error. PushCommand.ExecutePushCommand

Here's how to fix it (tested in VS 2017):

1. In Visual Studio, double-click on your "fraudulent" remote branch;
2. VS should now create a local branch from this;
3. Right-click the local branch, select "Delete Remote Branch";
4. Right-click on the local branch, select "Push branch";
5. You should now have a true corresponding remote branch;
6. Delete the remote branch, then the local branch.

I hope this helps someone who finds themselves in this thread to face the same problem as me.
