# Action menu (/docs/reference/action-menu)

Every action offered for a repository, and which ones depend on whether it is cloned or yours.

`enter` on a repository opens its action menu. The rows are numbered, and pressing a number runs that row. The menu is built per repository, so the numbers change with the entries on offer. With `--print-path`, `enter` skips the menu.

## Rows [#rows]

## Clone branch [#clone-branch]

Opens a picker of the repository's branches and tags, with tags marked. Type to search, `enter` to clone that ref with `git clone --branch REF`, `esc` to go back.

## View README [#view-readme]

Asks GitHub which file is the README, so `docs/README.md`, `.github/README.md` and odd casing all work. It is rendered with the active theme.

## After the screen closes [#after-the-screen-closes]

Clone, pull, editor, copy and open actions run after the screen has closed, so their output prints in your normal terminal. Pull prints `Pulling PATH…`, and a clone prints `Cloning OWNER/REPO → TARGET…` on stderr, with the branch when there is one.

The details panel next to the menu shows access, fork parent, language, stars, last push, license, size and local path. On a narrow terminal the summary moves into the menu panel.
