Git panel

The Source Control section at the bottom of the sidebar works against the git repository containing the AOT root (pure JS — no git.exe needed):

• Changed-files status (modified / added / deleted / untracked)
• Stage-all + commit (author CORE Studio <studio@local>)
• Branch list / switch / create
• 20-commit log

Local-only by design — a privacy feature

Push and pull stay in the terminal: the panel never touches remotes. Credential management and publishing half-compiled work are deliberate non-goals. The Studio never prompts for, stores, or transmits source-control credentials.

A root that isn’t inside a git repo shows a plain “not a repository” state.

Verify it worked

• Your change appears in the changed-files groups; after stage + commit, it shows in the 20-commit log.
• Switching branches updates the working tree; creating a branch is immediate.

If it goes wrong

• “Not a repository” state — the AOT root isn’t inside a git repo; initialize one externally (the panel deliberately doesn’t).
• Need to push or pull — use the terminal; the panel never touches remotes by design.
