Core features · Source control

Source control (Git)

The sidebar's third mode, Git. Stage and commit changed files, view the branch graph, see commit detail with a side-by-side diff, use GitLens-style blame, and clean up worktrees — all from one panel.

Source Control — stage · commit

Open it with Ctrl+Shift+G or the Git icon in the sidebar mode bar. Stage/unstage files, then write a message and commit. Status letters — M modified · A added · U untracked · D deleted.

① Sync bar — branch + ahead/behind + Pull/Push. ② Stage(+)/unstage(−) on each row.

Log + branch graph

Shows commits newest→oldest and visualizes branches and merges as a lane graph. Click a row to open the commit detail.

① The selected commit (accent background). ② The green dot is another merged lane.

Commit detail + side-by-side diff

Click a commit to open its message, author, time, and changed files. Click a changed file to open a side-by-side (before/after) read-only diff tab in the main panel — including untracked (new) files, reusing a single tab per file.

① Click a commit and its message, author, and changed files open at the bottom of the panel. ② Click a changed file to open a side-by-side diff tab in the main panel (added = green, removed = red).

GitLens-style blame

Toggle it in the editor with Ctrl+Shift+B (or the icon at the top right). The gutter shows per-line author · relative time, and clicking the gutter opens that commit's detail in the Git panel. Lines not yet committed are marked "Uncommitted".

① The gutter's "author · relative time" — click it to go to that commit's detail. ② An Uncommitted line is a change not yet committed.

Worktree list · cleanup

When a repository has 2+ git worktrees, the Git panel shows a worktree list — each worktree's name, relative path, and current branch — and lets you clean up (remove) the ones you're done with, right there.

Sidebar layout · maximize

The files·search·git modes share a common header (the project switcher). The three areas — Changes · Log · Commit detail — each scroll independently, and you drag the boundaries to resize them. Maximize the sidebar with the button or Shift+Esc; opening a file restores it automatically.
