Git branches not showing in status bar of IntelliJ after upgrading to 2002.3

Question

I have updated my IntelliJ to latest version 2002.3 CE

Now I am not able to see git branches in the bottom right corner of the status bar. I can see this feature in git --> branches, however I want to see it in status bar and don't want to navigate every time I want to see or do some other operation on branches.

Answer 1

Via a Bing search, I found this ticket. Apparently (quoting from the link),

Enabling the status bar via the View menu fixes the problem

View -> Appearance -> Status Bar Widgets -> Git Branch

If that's not the case, it appears a bug has been filed. I suggest you track it there.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, but I didn't even have Git Branch option available among Status Bar Widgets. I realized I had Git plugin disabled. You can check it at Settings -> Plugins.
