Version Control in an IDE – What Should It Look Like?
summary
Explains concrete IDE additions: staging area support and commit templates are implemented, the Git log and push dialog are reworked, GitHub PR and Space review flows land inside the IDE, and local history plus stash/shelf are usable without command line. Describes automatic git detection, protected-branch checks, checkout-for-remote-branch convenience, and a nearly finished non‑modal merge. Focus is on how these features actually work, where they still fail, and which follow-ups (unified diffs, smarter semantic diffs, GitLab/Bitbucket review APIs) are planned.
