Source Control
Review what the agent changed, then commit, push and open pull requests without leaving the chat. Syncing never stashes and never force-pushes.
Source Control (mod+d) holds your changes, each turn’s changes and the branch’s history. It’s where
you review what an agent did before it goes anywhere.
Review and commit
Changes
Changes lists staged and unstaged files by folder. Select files to Stage, Unstage or Discard them, and click one for its diff, unified or side by side. Edit opens the working file. A folder without Git offers Initialize Repository.
Commit
The commit box commits what’s staged, or stages everything when nothing is. Press mod+enter, or
choose Commit & push from the Commit menu.
Glade can write the message from the staged changes, or from all changes when nothing is staged. Pick the model it uses in Settings → Git & files.
Sync with the remote
Push, pull and sync
Next to Fetch, one button names the next step, with commit counts: Publish branch, Pull, Push, Sync when the branch has diverged, or Up to date.
Push fetches first, then fast-forwards or rebases your unpublished commits before pushing. It never stashes on its own and never force-pushes. If a rebase hits conflicts, Source Control lists the files with Continue and Abort.
Publish to GitHub
A repository without a remote gets Publish to GitHub instead. Pick your account or an
organization, name the repository and choose private (the default) or public. It needs the GitHub CLI
signed in with gh auth login.
History
History lists the branch’s commits: a green arrow for pushed ones, a yellow icon for local ones. Select a commit to see its files and diffs. The menu on the latest unpublished commit can undo it and keep its changes in your working tree.
Review guides
A review guide walks you through a pull request or your branch in the order it makes sense to read, instead of file by file.
Open one
- On a pull request: open its Guide tab.
- On your branch: Review guide for this branch in the Source Control toolbar.
Glade writes the guide with your Git generation model, set in Settings → Git & files. Rewrite writes it again.
Read it
The guide opens with an overview: what the change does, before and after. Then come its stops, groups of related changes in reading order. Look closely flags the spots that need your call.
Start review opens the first stop. Next stop marks the one you’re on as viewed, or toggle it yourself, and Continue picks up at the first stop you haven’t seen. From a chat, Ask about this stop hands that stop to the agent as a question.
Undo a turn
Before every message you send, Glade snapshots the chat’s working tree. That’s what makes each turn reviewable and reversible.
Review and undo a turn
When a turn changes files, a change card in the transcript lists them. Review opens that turn’s diff, and Undo restores the files it changed.
Rewind the chat
Edit any earlier message and send it again. Glade drops the turns after it and asks whether to Keep files as they are or Restore files to how they were before that message.
Snapshots leave your Git staging area alone, and a very large repository can skip one (the chat says so). For anything you can’t afford to lose, a commit is still the strongest boundary.
Pull requests
Review on GitHub, from Glade
mod+shift+g lists the project’s pull requests, yours first, with their checks and reviews. Each
opens as a tab with a summary and its changes. Fix, Resolve and Address turn failing
checks or review comments into a message for the agent, and Merge appears once nothing blocks it.
The next step, one shortcut away
The chat’s Environment panel shows the branch’s next step: commit, push, create a PR or merge.
mod+ctrl+p on macOS, or ctrl+alt+p, runs it.
