Working with Git

Streamlined git workflow with visual commit proposals and real-time status updates.

Git Integration

• Interactive Claude-generated git commit proposals

• Manual git commits - Commit files edited in an AI Session

• Git file status colors for AI Sessions - Visual indicators for added/modified/deleted files

• Detect more Claude changes - Including rm, mv, echo >>, etc

• Uncommitted files count on sessions - See at a glance which sessions have pending changes

How to use:

• When committing, use the interactive file picker to select exactly which files to include.

• View full commit details in the expanded git widget.

• File status colors (green for added, yellow for modified, red for deleted) help you understand changes at a glance.

• Pending file reviews are auto-approved when you commit, streamlining your workflow.

Benefits:

• No more polling for git status - updates appear instantly

• Visual clarity on what's changed

• Faster commit workflow with fewer clicks

Files Sidebar in Agents Mode

• A compact file list at the top showing referenced files

• A pending review banner at the bottom when files need review

File Categories

Files are organized into three collapsible sections:

Edited

Files the AI has modified. These show:

• Operation icon: What the AI did to the file

  • Green + = Created new file

  • Blue pencil = Edited existing file

  • Red trash = Deleted file

  • Orange rename = Renamed file

• Git status badge: Current version control state

• Line counts: +5 (lines added) -3 (lines removed)

• Pending review indicator: Yellow highlight with review icon if awaiting your approval

Referenced

Files you mentioned in your prompts using @filename syntax. These are files you brought to the AI's attention but weren't necessarily modified.

Read

Files the AI read to understand your codebase. These provide context for the AI but weren't modified.

Git Status Badges

For edited files, small colored badges show the git status:

Badge	Meaning
M (yellow)	Modified - Changes not staged
S (green)	Staged - Changes ready to commit
? (gray)	Untracked - New file not in git
D (red)	Deleted

Hover over a badge to see "Git status: modified" (or staged, etc.)

Pending Review Files

When the AI makes changes, those files may show as "pending review":

• Yellow background: The file has AI changes you haven't reviewed yet

• Review icon: A small review icon appears next to the filename

• Banner: Shows count like "3 files pending review" with a "Keep All" button

Accepting Changes

• Click Keep All to accept all pending AI changes at once

• Or review files individually by clicking on them

File Activity Tracking and Git Status in Files Mode

The sidebar tracks all files the AI interacts with during a session:

Git Status - Shown with a Git label (M for modified, ? for untracked file)

Uncommitted Changes - Shows only files/folders with uncommitted changes

Files Read - Files the AI examined to understand context in the session

Files Written - Files written to by AI during the session

Auto-Approve Commits

Skip the manual approval step for git commit proposals.

How to use:

1. Go to Settings and enable Auto-approve commits, or toggle it directly on any git commit proposal widget

2. When enabled, Claude's commit proposals are committed automatically without waiting for your approval
