This feature

  • Blocks me from using Bruno
  • Would improve my quality of life in Bruno
  • Is something I've never seen an API client do before

Describe the feature you want to add, and how it would change your usage of Bruno

When using the built-in Git UI in Bruno Ultimate, clicking the Fetch button successfully updates remote references, allowing users to see remote-only branches inside the Pull > Pull From Other Branches menu. However, these newly fetched remote branches do not appear in the primary branch-switching dropdown.

Currently, if a user wants to switch to a branch that exists on the remote but has never been checked out locally, the dropdown is unresponsive to it. The user is forced to drop down to an external system terminal and manually run git checkout before Bruno's primary dropdown recognizes and lists it.
