Antigravity 2.0 adds new VCS controls and a terminal

Google released Antigravity 2.0, adding Git version-control controls and an embedded terminal to its coding assistant's right-side panel, enabling developers to review repository changes and run commands without leaving the app. The update connects directly to the Git working tree, offering views for agent edits, uncommitted changes, and branch differences, plus a terminal for running tests and builds. Google frames the release around improving reviewability and trust in AI-assisted development.

Google has added Git version-control controls and an embedded terminal inside Antigravity 2.0, putting repository review and command-line work in the coding assistant’s right-side panel. The update targets developers pairing with AI agents who need a reliable picture of every workspace change, not just edits made through an agent’s editing tool.

The revised sidebar connects directly to the Git working tree and brings together three views: Agent Edits, Uncommitted, and Branch. It can show changes made by the agent, a separate editor, a Python program, or a Bash script, along with branch differences against origin/main. That closes a gap in the prior interface, where users often had to leave Antigravity to run git status or git diff before they could trust what the review pane showed.

Developers can open modified files, search within diffs, and switch between split and unified layouts. A staged-changes view supports selecting files, staging or unstaging them, drafting a commit message, and committing from the sidebar. Antigravity can also preview an automatically generated message before creating the commit.

The adjacent Terminal tab handles the rest of the workflow without leaving the app. Users can run tests, linters, builds, package commands, and other utilities, with Google’s demo highlighting git status and go test ./... commands. Together, the terminal and VCS pane let teams inspect agent output, verify side effects from other tools, and move changes toward a commit from one workspace.

The Antigravity Team is framing the release around reviewability and trust in AI-assisted development. Antigravity 2.0 previously surfaced agent edits in its sidebar, while the new Git-backed view reflects the wider state of the branch and working directory. The accompanying interactive simulation lets users test view switching, diff inspection, terminal commands, and commit flow, although Google notes that its appearance may differ slightly from the product.
