I am trying to see the files of particular branch of my repo. How can I open that file in intellij. When I am trying to open repo in intellij it is showing code of master branch. pls Help!!

One quick option here, which doesn't require actually checking out another branch, would be to right click the file of interest and then choose:

Git => Compare with branch...

This will bring up a dialog listing all branches for your current repository. You may choose the branch of interest. This in turn will launch a side-by-side window showing both the version from the current branch (presumably master) right next to the version from the branch you have chosen.

Going this route might actually be what you want, if your intention be to compare a given file in the current branch against a version in another branch.

Hi if you have multiple branches exp.- branch1, branch2,branch3 and you can open a particular branch file, checkout particular branch & open file easily CMD= git checkout branch1
