Coddo includes a full Git integration so you never have to leave the app to manage version control. The Git view has two tabs: Branches and Changes.

​
Branches tab

View and manage all your local branches:
  • Create new branches with sanitized names
  • Switch between branches
  • Delete local and remote branches
  • See the current branch highlighted
  • View ahead/behind status compared to the remote
  • Visualize branch relationships in a tree structure

​
Changes tab

A visual staging area for your Git workflow:
1

Review changes

See all modified, added, and deleted files with their status indicators.
2

Stage files

Stage individual files or all changes at once. Click on a file to see its diff.
3

Commit

Write a commit message and commit your staged changes.
4

Push

Push your commits to the remote repository.

​
Git and execution modes

The Git workflow differs depending on which execution mode your task uses.

​
Worktree tasks

When a task runs in worktree mode, Coddo creates an isolated Git worktree with a dedicated branch (e.g. coddo/1-fix-login). Claude Code works entirely inside this worktree. Once the task is done, you validate and merge the branch back into the base branch from the Git view. Coddo handles:
  • Clean merges - Automatic merge with no conflicts
  • Merge conflicts - Visual conflict detection with a list of conflicted files
  • Abort merge - Cancel a merge in progress
  • Finalize merge - Complete the merge after resolving conflicts
You can open conflicted files in your code editor to resolve them, then finalize the merge from Coddo.

​
Direct tasks

When a task runs in direct mode, Claude Code works directly in your current working directory. Changes appear immediately in the Changes tab. You can enable auto-commit in Settings (or per task) to automatically commit changes when the task completes. Otherwise, you stage and commit manually from the Changes tab.

​
Push

After committing your changes, click Push to upload your local commits to the remote repository.

​
Kanban header integration

The Kanban board header shows Git status at a glance:
  • Diff stats - Files changed, insertions, and deletions
  • Ahead counter - How many commits ahead of the remote
  • Commit & Push button for quick operations
