I clone a repo using SmartGit but now following good practices I'll start developing at development branch and then merge this one with master but I don't know how to change between them from SmartGit. See the image below:

There I made right click at development and click on Rebase HEAD to but this didn't work since my COMMIT was unsuccessful. How I change between branch on SmartGit? Any help?

Select the branch you want to switch to in the Branches view and invoke Branch > Check Out.

Note: you should probably never rebase master onto development or vice versa.
