In gitlab, there were 3 branches: master, UAT and NEWCOCOAPODS. I used BFG and successfully removed 3 large files. After pushing back up to gitlab, only master is there. The output includes:

remote: To create a merge request for NEWCOCOAPODS, visit: remote: https://git.loomissayles.com/architecture-team/IOMobile/-/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=NEWCOCOAPODS remote: remote: remote: To create a merge request for UAT, visit: remote: https://git.loomissayles.com/architecture-team/IOMobile/-/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=UAT

How do I restore these other two branches? I'm not sure what a merge request is and don't want to further damage the project.

Thanks!

  • I should add that the other branches seem to exist in gitlab, but cloning from gitlab only gives me master in the local repo. – Owen Hartnett Jul 06 '21 at 13:48

    When you clone you only have the default local branch. Type `git branch -r` to see all the remote branches as well. – TTT Jul 07 '21 at 18:12

A simple

git checkout UAT

did the trick.

My git GUI frontend did not display the other origin branches, so I did not originally see them.
