Git & source control

Nexis has a full source-control panel so you can manage git without leaving the app.

Everyday git

Stage, unstage, commit, and branch — all from the Source Control panel.
Commit graph and history viewer with branch lanes.
Per-file diffs with syntax highlighting, shown as a unified diff view.
Stash manager — list, create, apply, pop, and drop stashes directly from the panel.
Pre-commit secret scan — scans only added lines, opens itself when it finds a redacted match, and lets you keep committing or ignore a false positive for that repository.

AI commit messages — generate a Conventional Commit subject line from the staged diff with one click.
AI PR descriptions — draft a pull request title and body from the branch diff.
Explain commit — click any commit in the history for a plain-English breakdown of what changed and why.
Agent checkpoints — revert the files changed by one AI turn through a Git-backed checkpoint without resetting the rest of the worktree.

Activity — background jobs, dev servers with live log streaming, and the AI agent task queue in one place.
Release — the current version, commits since the last tag, one-click changelog copy, and git tag creation.
Tests — run Vitest, cargo test, pytest, or JUnit with a pass/fail tree.
