You will see 2 important notices in the above image.
- The create branch notice. It appears whenever you're on the repo's default branch. The default is read from
origin/HEAD; if that isn't set (common for repos made withgit init+git remote add), Coder falls back tomain, thenmaster. - Sync notice, letting you know there are upstream changes.
Cmd+BCreate branch ( name + "from" branch dropdown, defaults to current ), creates + checks out in one stepCmd+KStage all & commitCmd+UPush ( now also auto-sets upstream for a brand-new branch )Cmd+;Create PR- Delete branches (if you need)
- Manage tags from the Tags section of the Git panel (see Tags)

- Create branch "+ New branch…" in the switcher creates and checks out in one step
- Delete branch trash icon per local branch (hidden on the current branch, no deleting the branch you're on) with a two-click confirm

- Branch + ahead/behind always visible in the panel header and status bar
- Dirty count badge uncommitted file count shown right on the Git activity-bar icon, so you don't need the panel open to see there's something to commit

- Create new PR's right from the interface
- Git History open the full commit graph in an editor tab, with filters, per-commit file lists, and right-click tag, branch, cherry-pick and merge actions — see Git History
- Git blame see who last changed a line, inline on the cursor line or in a gutter column, with a hover card for the full commit — see Git Blame
- Worktrees create and manage git worktrees right from the Git panel — see Workspaces & Worktrees
Auto Upstream detection
The Tags section in the Git panel shows the tag count and your latest tag. Click the tag icon to open the tag manager.
- Create enter a name and optionally an "At" target (a commit, branch, or tag; defaults to
HEAD). Add a message to make it an annotated tag; leave it empty for a lightweight tag. - Browse and filter every tag with its commit, date, tagger, and subject, searchable by name or subject
- Check remote contacts origin to mark each tag as
pushedorlocal only. This is a network call, so it only runs when you ask (or right after an action that already talks to origin). - Push a single tag (↑), or Push all (shows how many are unpushed once the remote has been checked)
- Delete a local tag (trash icon) or a tag on origin (⇡✕), each with a two-click confirm
- Fetch tags the refresh icon in the header pulls tags from origin
- Copy name copies the tag name to the clipboard
Deleting a tag from origin removes it for everyone. Tags already pulled by others stay on their machines.
