Codeg includes built-in Git support for all project folders you open. It detects your system Git installation automatically and exposes the full range of Git operations — status, diff, commit, push, pull, branches, stashes, worktrees, and more — without leaving the workspace. Navigate to Settings → Version Control to configure Git settings and manage remote accounts.

​
Git detection

On startup, Codeg locates your Git executable using the system which (macOS/Linux) or where (Windows) command. The detected path and version are shown in Settings → Version Control. If Codeg cannot find Git, or if you need to use a specific Git binary (e.g., a version installed in a non-standard location), enter the full path in the Custom Git Path field and click Save. Codeg validates the path by running git --version before saving.
1

Open Version Control settings

Go to Settings → Version Control.
2

Click Custom Git Path

Click the Custom Git Path button next to the detected Git info.
3

Enter the path

Type the absolute path to the Git executable, e.g., /usr/local/bin/git.
4

Save

Click Save. Codeg tests the path and updates the detected version display. Click Cancel to discard and restore the previous value.

​
Remote accounts

Codeg stores remote Git credentials so agents and built-in Git operations can authenticate when pushing to or pulling from remote repositories. Credentials are stored in your OS keyring — never in config files or logs. Codeg separates accounts into two categories:
GitHub accounts authenticate using a personal access token (PAT). Codeg validates the token against the GitHub API and displays your username, avatar, and granted OAuth scopes.
1

Click Add Account

In the GitHub Accounts section, click Add Account.
2

Enter the server URL

For github.com, leave the server URL as https://github.com. For GitHub Enterprise, enter your enterprise URL, e.g., https://github.example.com. Codeg automatically routes to api.github.com for github.com and {url}/api/v3 for enterprise.
3

Enter your personal access token

Paste your GitHub personal access token. Codeg calls the GitHub API to verify the token and retrieve your username and scopes.
4

Set as default (optional)

If this is your primary account for push/pull operations, enable Set as default. The default account is used when no other account is specified for a remote operation.
5

Add

Click Add. The account appears in the list with your username, server URL, and scopes.
To test whether a stored token is still valid, click Test Connection on the account row. Codeg re-validates the token against the GitHub API in real time.

​
Managing accounts

ActionHow
Set defaultClick Set Default on any non-default account
RemoveClick the trash icon; the token is deleted from the keyring and the account is removed
Test connectionClick Test Connection to re-validate against the remote API

Git operations

The Version Control panel in the workspace sidebar exposes all standard Git operations for the open project folder:
  • Status — view modified, staged, and untracked files
  • Diff — inspect line-level changes per file
  • Log — browse commit history
  • Stage files — add specific files or all changes to the index
  • Commit — create a commit with a message
  • Push / Pull / Fetch — synchronize with the remote
  • List branches — view local and remote branches
  • Create branch — start a new branch from the current HEAD or a specified ref
  • Checkout — switch to a branch or commit
  • Delete branch — remove a local branch
  • Merge — merge a branch into the current branch
  • Rebase — rebase the current branch onto another
  • Stash push — save uncommitted changes to the stash
  • Stash list — view all stash entries
  • Stash pop — apply the most recent stash entry and remove it
  • Stash apply — apply a stash entry without removing it
  • Stash drop — delete a specific stash entry
  • View conflicting files — list files with merge conflicts
  • Resolve — mark a file as resolved after editing
  • Continue — continue a merge or rebase after resolving conflicts
  • Abort — cancel the current merge or rebase operation
  • List remotes — view configured remote URLs
  • Add remote — register a new remote by name and URL
  • Remove remote — unregister a remote
  • Set remote URL — update the URL of an existing remote
  • Clone — clone a repository into a local directory
Codeg includes first-class support for git worktree, enabling parallel development across multiple branches without switching. You can list, add, and remove worktrees from the workspace UI. Each worktree opens as a separate project folder in Codeg, with its own agent sessions and terminal.
Codeg’s parallel git worktree support is a core feature for running multiple agents on different branches simultaneously. Open several worktrees as separate folders and assign an agent to each one for concurrent, isolated development.
