Git

The Explorer's Git tab shows what has changed in the project's checkout and what has been committed. It is for reading Claude's work and committing it — branches, rebases and the rest are for the terminal.

Changes

Changes lists every changed file, as a tree, under Staged and Working tree, each with how many lines were added and removed.

• Click a file to open its diff — side by side or inline, with Show whitespace if you need it. The diff is read-only; open the file to edit.
• Right-click to stage, unstage or discard a file, or use Stage everything and Unstage everything.
• Discard every change in this checkout puts everything back as it was at the last commit. A new file it would delete goes to the trash instead.

The list refreshes itself when files change, including after a commit made in the terminal.

Committing

Stage what you want, type a message in the box above the lists and press ⌘⏎.

Draft has Claude write the message for you from the staged diff and your last ten commit subjects, in the same style. It only fills the box — nothing is committed until you press commit. The model and account it uses are set in Settings › Claude › Helpers › Commit message drafts.

Commits

Commits is the current branch's history, newest first, loaded as you scroll. Filter it by message, author or hash.

• Commits not pushed yet are marked Not pushed.
• Click a commit for the files it changed, and a file for its diff in that commit. Right-click for Copy commit SHA and Open file at this commit.
• Push sends the branch to origin — and sets its upstream if it has none. It runs in the background and never stops to ask for anything; if git needs a passphrase or a password, the push is run again in a terminal, where you can type it.
