Changes and commits

Click Uncommitted changes at the top of the graph (or choose Show uncommitted changes in the command palette) to see what's changed in your working tree.

Staging​

  • Stage all and Unstage all move everything at once.
  • Each file has its own stage and discard buttons.
  • Open a file to stage part of it. In the Unified diff, each hunk has a Stage hunk button, and you can select individual lines and stage just those. Staged changes can be unstaged the same way.

Discarding asks you to confirm first, since it throws your changes away.

Committing​

Write a Summary (required) and, if you like, a longer Description. Keep the summary under about 72 characters; the app warns you when it's longer. Press Ctrl+Enter to commit.

You can also amend the last commit.

If your git config signs commits (commit.gpgsign), commits made in Git Revenge are signed too, with GPG or SSH as your config says.

Stashing​

Stash sets your uncommitted changes aside; Stash… lets you give the stash a message first. Stashes are listed in the sidebar. Right-click one to Apply, Pop or Drop it.

Undo and redo​

Commits, checkouts, merges, cherry-picks, rebases, resets, reverts and pulls can be undone. Press Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo. The command palette names what the next undo will reverse, such as Undo: Commit "Fix the login form".

Undo is only offered while the repository is exactly where that operation left it. If anything has moved since, whether in the app or in a terminal, it refuses rather than guess. Nothing is lost either way: the reflog keeps every earlier state.
