Git Sidebar

Use most Git commands through the GUI

Clicking the [Git] button() in the Activity bar allows you to manage source code versions. In the Git Sidebar, you can easily use Git-related features without commands.

To use Arkain's distributed version control feature, a GitHub account that supports Git repository hosting is required. GitHub is the most popular Git repository hosting service.
