Status and feedback

  • Toasts — info and errors, sometimes with Undo or Retry
  • In-progress banner — merge/rebase (and similar) with Abort / Continue
  • Git Output — expand when you need the raw command stream; use Clear to reset

Workspace modes

The center of the window changes with the sidebar:

  • File Status — working copy (stage, commit, local review)
  • History — commit browser
  • Pull request — GitHub review workspace (when you open a PR)
