JetBrains Air Help

Git

JetBrains Air has no single Git panel. Git operations sit next to the work they belong to: the Git menu for repository-wide commands, the branch selector for branches, the Changes tool for commits, and the History tool for the commit log.

Where to find Git operations

Surface

What you do there

The Git menu

Sync, push, pull, and fetch. Show the commit history, work with the current file, and clone a repository.

The branch selector

See the branch that is currently checked out, check out another one, create a branch, and browse remote branches.

The Changes tool

Review changed files, choose what goes into the next commit, commit, and revert changes.

The History tool

Browse commits and task snapshots, view diffs, pull and push, and roll back to a commit.

The Files tool

Run Git actions on one file from its right-click menu, such as file history or reverting its changes.

You can also run any Git action by name: press ⌘ ⇧ K and type git.
