A local branch can "track" another (usually remote) branch. This sets up a default so the local branch knows which branch to push to and pull from. If a local branch tracks another branch, next to the branch name a badge shows how many commits the branch is ahead or behind its counterpart.
Perform one of the following actions:
In the Sidebar drag and drop the (presumably remote) branch you want to track onto "BRANCHES" or on a local branch.
In the Sidebar right-click the remote branch you want to track and select "Track This Branch..." from the contextual menu.
In the Sidebar right-click the local branch you want to track a remote branch and select "Add Tracking" from the contextual menu.
Perform the following action:
In the Sidebar right-click the local branch that you want to have no tracking and select "Remove Tracking" from the contextual menu.
NOTE:When creating a new branch in Tower you will find an option to directly set up a tracking in the corresponding dialog.
NOTE:When publishing a local branch you will find an option to directly set up a tracking in the corresponding dialog.
