Manage Git branches

A cloud task starts on its own task branch, and Air Teams commits the agent's work there after every turn. You can branch off and check out commits from the History tool, for example to try an alternative from an earlier state.

Keep in mind that the agent's next commit lands on whatever is checked out. Check out the task branch again before you send the next prompt, unless you want the agent to continue somewhere else.
