⌘⇧G opens the Git tool pane — a glass pane standing in a lane beside the stage. It stays until you close it, and never covers a pane. Everything in it shells out to the git installed on your machine — your config, your credentials, your hooks. Fold never bundles a git of its own.
Drag it by its head to any of the four sides of the stage: it can stand beside Files and Notes, stack with them down one lane, or take a lane of its own. Drag its gutter to resize — 240–480pt as a column, 160–480pt as a row.
Unstaged and staged files, each with its status. Click a row to open that change's diff as a document pane; ⌘-click to open it to the side. Stage, unstage or discard from the row. Write a message and commit. Push and pull live in the section head.
The local and remote branches, the current one marked. Switch, create, and see the default branch pinned. The instruments' branch fact is the same list, one click away from anywhere.
The commit history. Click a commit to open its diff as a document pane — several can stand open at once, and the panel marks which rows have a diff open.
The repository's pull requests, listed, readable and mergeable inside the app. Opening a new one happens on GitHub. The account mark beside the gear in the dock shows which GitHub account is pushing; its menu tells signed-out, no gh and unreadable apart, and switches accounts.
Stash and unstash from the panel. Worktrees — one folder per branch, same repository — are created, switched and removed from the instruments' worktree fact; see Workspaces.
The Files pane decorates files with their git status — modified, added, untracked, conflicted — and folders roll up the worst state of their children. .git is never listed.
