Review changes
The Changes tab shows workspace status and diffs:- Files are grouped by status and marked with a single-letter code:
Mmodified,Aadded,Ddeleted,Rrenamed,Ccopied,Uuntracked,!conflicted. - Selecting a file shows a unified diff on the right and states whether it is
stagedorunstaged. - An empty state shows No Git status, and no differences shows No diff.
- Search commits to search by commit message.
- Branch and author filters (the author picker defaults to All Users).
- Filtering by author date range.
- Clicking a commit to open the Commit detail drawer with the full diff. The drawer truncates its label to 48 characters with the whole subject in a tooltip, clamps the commit body to three lines with a click and keyboard expand toggle, and replaces the header badge with a summary row (changed-file count, total additions and deletions, plus Side-by-side diff, Wrap long lines, and Collapse all files toggles). File rows stand at 36px and every diff row starts with a colour rail.
Only the Commit detail drawer offers a side-by-side view; the working-tree diff view is still unified only. There is also no hunk-level staging — staging works on whole files. There is no stash or tag interface; use the terminal when you need those.
Branches and commits
The Git panel toolbar offers Fetch, Push, Refresh Git, branch creation and switching, and a menu of further actions. A typical flow:- Create or switch a branch.
- Read the file diffs.
- Run Stage or Unstage on a file (whole file).
- Type a message into the Commit message field and commit.
- Use Amend commit when you need to append to the previous commit.
- Fetch updates remote references, and Push publishes local commits.
Worktree
A worktree is a separate workspace under the same project — see Projects and workspaces. The Git panel covers the whole lifecycle:
Conflicts are handled file by file, and for each file you can keep either the target side or the source side.
A Local workspace modifies the main checkout directory directly; a Worktree gives parallel tasks their own directory. Either way, the authoritative runtime’s Git state is what counts.
Common flow
Mobile
Mobile can read Git status and diffs, and can stage / unstage / revert / commit / fetch / push and create worktrees — provided the device permission level isfull_control.
