Research direction

Start by locating the suggestion handling for git switch and compare it with the existing git checkout behavior. Verify how branches uploaded to origin are discovered, then add equivalent suggestions for git switch and test that remote branches appear without regressing local branch suggestions.

Suggest branches that have been uploaded to origin.

I always find it super handy, thanks!

When I use the git checkout command, it suggests branches that have been uploaded to origin, but the git switch command doesn't do this.

Is this because of my settings, or is Warp not yet supporting this feature?
I think it would be even more convenient if this feature was supported.

Additional context

P.S. I'd prefer not to use the git checkout command going forward.
