Root Cause
BranchService.createBranch()persists the branch entity to the DB but does not callSztabinaClientto create the corresponding git ref. The Sztabina client likely already has or needs acreateBranch(projectName, branchName, parentBranchName)endpoint.Fix
Backend —
BranchServiceImpl.createBranch()After persisting the branch to the DB, call Sztabina to create the git ref:
sztabinaClient.createBranch( project.getName(), branch.getName(), branch.getParent().getName() );Sztabina — if endpoint does not exist
Add a
POST /repos/{name}/branchesendpoint that creates a git branch from a given parent ref using JGit or native git.Error handling
If Sztabina branch creation fails, roll back the DB record and surface a clear error to the user. Do not leave a DB branch record without a corresponding git branch.

Notes
This defect applies to LOCAL (Sztabina-hosted) projects only. EXTERNAL projects manage their own git branches independently.

Summary
Creating a branch via the Sztab UI creates a database record only. The corresponding git branch is not created in Sztabina. This breaks the PR creation flow — the PR form queries Sztabina for branches and finds none, showing "No branches found. Check git repository configuration." Users have no indication that a manual git push is required.

Steps to Reproduce
Expected Behavior
When a user creates a branch via the Sztab UI, Sztab should:
This is the standard behavior in GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea — "Create Branch" means the branch exists in git immediately.
Actual Behavior
Branch creation only creates a DB record. Sztabina has no corresponding git branch. The branch is not pushable via
git checkout <branch>on a fresh clone. PR creation form cannot find the branch.
