Greetings!
My front derailleur is not shifting properly after I got a branch logged in the cogs. I had to dig out the branch and to unclog the chain, afterwards the front derailleur wasn’t operational.
Any advice or tips are appreciated. Thanks!

First, I would check to ensure that it is in the correct position and, most importantly, not bent (as it seems like it may be.) Clean it out and make sure nothing is gunking it up and causing it to seize. If it’s in good shape, in the correct spot, and clean, then a simple indexing of the derailleur should have it functioning just fine again. You can look on YouTube and find plenty of videos showing you how to index it. Best of luck.
It looks like it’s dropped a bit and is catching on the top chainring. There should be the ability to raise it so it clears.
