Hello,
I'm working with Node-RED (1.3.6) in project mode. My project is linked with a GitLab repository.
How can I checkout a git branch that has been created in GitLab (from a Merge Request)?
I have only the possibility to create a local branch, on the current one. If I do a "Pull", the remote branch does not appears in the local branches list.
So for the moment, the only way that I've found is to do _ **git checkout my-branch** _ in a console before starting working on it in editor. But it is not really user-friendly.
Thanks

It may be a bug in the History UI, I will post a GitHub issue in Node-RED
