Git Integration

Repository-aware features throughout the app — status tracking, diffs, branches, and more.

Start reads your git repository on project open and tracks changes in real time. Git awareness is woven throughout the app — the file explorer shows modification status, the changes panel lists uncommitted files, and the agent can use git operations during conversations.

What's built in

  • File status tracking — Modified, new, and deleted files are surfaced everywhere
  • Diff viewing — Visual diffs for reviewing changes
  • Branch management — List, create, and switch branches
  • File revert — Discard changes to individual files
  • Default branch detection — Automatically identifies main/master

How the agent uses git

The agent can check repo status, read diffs, revert files, and create commits or branches when you ask. Git operations run in the background, so they don't block the UI.
