How to change default branch for an Appsmith app?

Current Limitation - Appsmith apps connected to the same git repository will have the same default branch for all such apps.

Let's address the two scenarios where users might want to change their default branch:

Scenario 1 ❌

Multiple apps are connected to a single repository, and the user wants to have different default branches for different apps. Unfortunately, this is not possible as of today. 

Although we understand that this is a valid request and have raised a feature request you can follow for more updates - https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/issues/24879

Scenario 2 ✅

A single app is connected to a repository, and the user wants to change the default branch for that app. The following are the steps to achieve this -

Step 1 -

Go to git-sync, and check if the new default branch exists in the remote repository: `origin/temp`

Step 2 -

Go to the remote repository and go to the `settings > general settings` section

Step 3 -

Find the Default Branch section and click on the `switch to different branch` button to select and update the new default branch. Lastly, click on `I understand ...` for it to take an affect.

Step 4 -

Go back to your Appsmith app and click on `sync branches` to synch the default branch change from the repository.

Tada 🎉

Now when you enter the edit mode, by default the `temp` branch will be selected.
