title: How to make a new branch in Visual Studio 2015?
body: <p>I am using Git with Visual Studio Online in Visual Studio 2015 and am trying to figure out how to create a branch.</p>
  
  <p>This is the usual answer on the internet: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850437.aspx" rel="noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850437.aspx</a> &amp; <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj190809.aspx#create" rel="noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj190809.aspx#create</a></p>
  
  <p>If you check the image it shows the branch and the drop down arrow where I assume you can create a branch. But in Visual Studio 2105 the dropdown is not there and when I click on the link it goes to branches.</p>
  
  <p>But there is only Merge, Rebase, and Actions dropdowns. There is no new branch.</p>
  
  <p>So how can I create a new branch in Visual Studio 2015?</p>
