GIT commit branches Do Not include the fetched remote branches, only locally created branches

I'd like to commit a change to a branch that I've pulled down my remote BitBucket (because our change control process is managed through JIRA and GitFlow) but the only branches I choose to commit my changes onto are ones that have been created locally.

 

The remote branch was successfully fetched and appears in the "GIT Integration" window. It even identified as aligning to same codes changes as the local branches that I am able to choose, i.e. all 3 have the white circle next to them.

 

But when I make changes and open the branches drop down list I can't see the branch pulled from the remote GIT.

 

This branch was created in BitBucket by branching from the master branch that was originally pushed from Matillion.

Hi @mfrise1

If you create a local branch with the exact name of the remote branch that was fetched from the remote git repo, then this would create a local copy of the branch and then, you should be able to commit to that branch.

Hope this helps,
