# Objective Make branch filtering consistent and more flexible across the title bar and Git panel branch pickers. ## Solution - Replace the remote-only filter toggle with a dropdown for all, local, and remote branches. - Preserve the selected filter across branch picker instances. - Add a ListFilter icon and active-filter indicator. - Prevent nested filter-menu interactions from dismissing the parent picker. - Cycle through all, local, and remote filters with the existing keyboard shortcut. ## Testing - Ran `cargo check -p git_ui --tests --no-default-features`. - Verified formatting with `cargo fmt -p git_ui`. - Manually checked the filter dropdown from the title bar and Git panel. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase - Filters: All, Local, Remote - "Cmd + Shift + I" to cycle over the filters <details> <summary>New Branch Picker Filter Dropdown</summary> <img width="1624" height="1030" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-12 at 3 53 30 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1323d9c9-f4b9-41ee-ba93-841299872c02" /> <img width="1624" height="1030" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-12 at 3 54 35 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/839345ff-de3b-48f0-b4e7-0f8d27e94204" /> </details> Release Notes: - Improved branch filtering with local, remote, and all-branch options in the branch picker.
