The GeanyVC plugin is lightweight, just as Geany is. Its main focus is to 
support the routine VCS operations while in editing context. 

In Git and similar systems the versioning (and branching) is applied to the 
whole work tree, not just to an individual file. So it may be more explicit to 
set the desired branch outside the editor. This can be done on the command line 
(`git checkout <branch>`) for the current project root.

If you find a need to work on multiple branches at the same time, then you may 
want to consider `git worktree` command. GeanyVC is able to recognize the Git 
worktrees.

Also, you may use the Geany's built-in Terminal (see Terminal in the Message 
pane) to run Git commands. If any file gets updated, Geany will recognize it 
and prompt user to Reload the affected file.
