# Syncing Branches By default, the project will use the branch specified as the "Default Branch" when connecting the Remote Git repository to the project. ### Branch Setup * You can sync an existing branch from the repo or create a new branch in Neurelo by using the Branch selector and clicking on the “New branch”

* You can enter the name of the branch and “Submit”

* This will pull the branch from the remote git repository if it is found; or otherwise, create a new branch off the default branch. * New changes will be pulled every 5 minutes, or you can manually pull the changes by clicking on the “Sync” button. ### Manual Sync Once you push new commits to your branch, you can sync those changes in Neurelo by clicking on the “Sync” button. * For example, let’s say we have a branch named `feature-1` at commit `8a9731...9f6553`

* If we push commits to the branch on the remote git, they will appear in the repository’s commit history. The new commit here is `f7559f8`.

* Then, we can go to Neurelo and click on Sync for the `feature-1` branch. This will start a sync in the background and pull the new commit.

* If we open the Commit History in Neurelo, we see that the “new commit” with the same commit ID as GitHub appears.
