Bottom button bar
Here all the buttons are shortcuts to git commands, no programs of my own are called.
branch - a combobox to select a branch. It is editable, making it possible to - as needed for the create function - type in a name.
create - to start a new branch. It doesn't automatcally switch over to it I think.
switch to - to switch over to the selected branch.
stash - brings up a menu to perform a couple of functies that work on the changes made in the branch. It is intended for when you're not ready to commit the yet while you want / need to switch branches:
new stash - creates a new stash and informs you about its autogenerated name. The changes are now saved separate of the commit and can be reapplied after switching back to the current branch.
apply stash - presents a dialog om select a stash to apply.
delete stash - presents the same dialog to select a stash to remove (because it is no longer needed).
merge - to merge the selected branch with the current one. If you forget to select a branch te kiezen you wiill be warned:

delete - to delete the selected branch after a successful merge. I don't know if it issues a warning if you try to delete the main branch.
