Github desktop showing a number at branch like #46

Im seeing a number as shown below on my branch in GitHub desktop, here:

Here

I do understand that if your branch is behind the remote branch you would get down array here in this section with number of commits behind etc., like this:

Like this

But what might be this #46 on my branch? My branch is up to date with remote.

Solution

  • On Github when you find the # (hash), it indicates a unique reference to an issue, or a Pull Request.

    If you search on remote repo the issue/pull-request number 46 probably you find the answer to your question.

    In this case from the symbol of the image reported the #46 is a Pull Request and the "RED X" means that some workflow is failed.
