# Git & GitHub Workflows

OpenChamber has a built-in git view so you can review changes, commit, and manage branches without switching to a terminal. Open it from the **Git** tab in the right sidebar.

## Review and commit

The git view splits your changes into **staged** and **unstaged**:

- click a file's **+** to stage it, or **−** to unstage it
- stage or unstage everything in a group at once
- click a file to see its diff

Then write a commit message and commit. You can have OpenChamber **generate a commit message** from your staged changes — it uses the current session's model, so you need a session open.

## Branches and history

The git view also covers the everyday rest of git:

- create, switch, rename, and delete branches
- push, pull, and fetch
- browse history and per-commit diffs
- stash and restore changes

## Pull requests

Connect GitHub (see [GitHub Issues & PRs](/github/)) and the **PR** tab lets you open a pull request, update it, mark it ready, or merge it — and generate its title and description the same way as commit messages.

## Bringing in conflicts

If a merge, rebase, or integrate hits a conflict, OpenChamber shows what's stuck and lets you resolve it — including handing it to the agent.
