Visual Repository Intelligence

Commit Graph: Interactive Repository History

Navigate complex repositories with a visual, color-coded commit timeline. Instantly understand branch relationships, authorship patterns, and commit sequences. Select multiple commits to batch operations like cherry-picking or generate AI-powered changelogs, commits, stashes and more.

Inline Blame: Understand the “Why” Behind Every Line

See who changed a line, when, and why without leaving your editor. Hover over blame annotations to:

  • View previous file revisions
  • Open related pull requests
  • Jump to commits in the Graph
  • Compare with previous versions

Accelerate Collaboration

Launchpad: Your PR & Issue Hub

Organize tasks by status to identify bottlenecks and prioritize critical work. Group pull requests and issues across multiple repositories for a unified view of your development pipeline.

Cloud Patches: Share Code Pre-PR

Share WIP code without cluttering your repository with branches or commits. Make your work accessible anytime, anywhere – ensuring team momentum across locations and time zones.

Multi-Repository Management

Multi-Repository Management

Group and manage all your repositories in a single, consolidated view. Track branch status, issues, and PRs across projects. No more tab overload.
