The Git Tab

Click a workspace’s branch name in the sidebar (or press Ctrl+Space g) to open its git tab, which is a dashboard, not a shell.

Six views

Switch by clicking the tabs, pressing 1–6, or Tab:

View	Shows
Commits	the log with graph rails (filter as you type)
Flow	the branch topology: trunk, diverging branches, ahead/behind, matched PRs
Branches	local branches with ahead/behind, author, age
PRs	open pull requests with live CI check status
Issues	open issues
Status	repo overview: remote, contributors, and the working tree

Navigate lists with j/k or the wheel. r refreshes, and q closes the tab.

For a focused read-only review of staged, worktree, untracked, and conflict layers with local notes, use the FILES dock’s DIFF surface.

Actions

• ⏎ on a branch checks it out. On a PR it opens the detail panel (checks, reviews, mergeability) where you can approve, merge, or check out the PR branch.
• d shows a diff/log for the selection in your terminal pane.
• o opens the selection on GitHub, and c starts gh pr create.
• m toggles scope between this repo and my work (everything involving you).

GitHub without GitHub

Local data (commits, branches, status) comes from git directly. PRs, issues, and checks come from the gh CLI. If gh isn’t installed or authenticated, the tab degrades gracefully to a local-git viewer. Run luvus doctor to check.

A workspace’s sidebar row also shows a live ahead/behind badge, and a PR’s checks turning red queues a (silent) notification.
