Git Integration

Fabriqa Desktop includes a built-in Git Changes panel that shows the state of your repository in real time. Review diffs, track staged and unstaged changes, and navigate between modified files without leaving the app.

​

Opening the Git Changes Panel

• Slash command: /git
• Command palette: Cmd+Shift+P → “Show Git Changes”
• Auto-open option: enable Auto-open Git Changes in Settings → Developer to have the panel open automatically when changes are detected.

​

File Groups

The panel organizes changed files into three groups: Each group is collapsible. File counts are shown per group.

​

Diff Viewer

Click any file in the panel to open its diff. Two modes are available, toggled from the diff viewer header:

• Unified diff — changes shown inline with +/- line markers, similar to git diff.
• Split diff — old version on the left, new version on the right, side by side.

Syntax highlighting is applied based on file type.

​

File Search

A search field at the top of the panel filters the file list by filename. Useful in large changesets when you need to locate a specific file quickly.

​

Branch Indicator

The panel header displays the current branch name and a status badge showing:

• Number of commits ahead of the remote.
• Number of commits behind the remote.
• A dirty indicator when there are local uncommitted changes.

​

Worktree Awareness

When a chat is linked to a git worktree (created via Cmd+Shift+N), the Git Changes panel shows the changes in that worktree’s working directory, not the main workspace. This lets you work on isolated branches without mixing changes. See Worktrees for the full worktree workflow documentation.

​

Completion Actions

At the top of the Git Changes panel, action buttons let you:

• Merge back — merge the worktree branch back into the main branch.
• Open PR — open a pull request for the worktree branch (links to your git hosting provider).

These actions are available when a worktree session is active.
