You need to know exactly what changed in your workspace, how it changed, and what state your repository is currently in.\n\nWe used to switch between Antigravity 2.0, our terminal, and any\nseperate version control system GUI we were running as well. With this update\nwe’ve introduced **Git Version Control System (VCS) Controls** directly in the\nAntigravity right-side panel, giving you a first-class UI for doing version\ncontrol operations. We also added a terminal tab so any other\ncommands you want to run are just a click away and you are able to maintain\nyour workflow instead of switching apps.\n\n## What exactly changed?\n\nWe updated the agent sidebar to now show more than Agent edits (changes made from the editing tool), but also to show any changes that were made against your current branch. These include things like a Python script making changes to your files, editing in a seperate text editor, and side effects from a bash script editing files.\n\nWhen the side panel only tracks agent tool edits, your UI gets out of sync with\nyour working directory. You end up constantly switching back to your terminal to\nrun `git status`\n\nand `git diff`\n\n. We simplified that by adding in a VCS diff\ntracker into Antigravity 2.0 and additionally offering a terminal tab as well.\nGiving you more flexibility to track your changes to your repository and to\nlaunch command line tools as needed.\n\n## Interactive Experience: Try the VCS Side Panel\n\nTest out the workflows directly in this interactive simulation:\n\n**Switch Views**: In the top left corner, use the dropdown at the top to toggle between** Agent Edits**,** Uncommitted**, and** Branch**to see how Antigravity categorizes changes.** Inspect Diffs**: In the right sidebar, click modified files, toggle** Split vs. Unified Diff**in the`...`\n\nmenu, or use the search tool for diffs.**Use the Terminal**: In the top left corner, click the** Terminal icon**in the activity bar to run commands like`git status`\n\nor`go test ./...`\n\n.**Stage & Commit**: Click** Commit**to open the commit dialog and preview auto-generated commit messages.\n\n## What’s New in the Antigravity Side Panel\n\nWith the new VCS integration located in the **right-side panel**, Antigravity\nconnects directly to your Git working tree. You get a single, unified view of\nall changes across your branch and workspace:\n\n### 1. VCS integration in the review pane\n\nSee true, VCS-grounded diffs for your current working directory. The panel\nreflects changes on your branch relative to `origin/main`\n\nas well as any\nuncommitted changes in your workspace, regardless of whether they were made by\nan agent or another utility. Review these changes with Git-native precision. The\nsidebar provides a dedicated view for your **staged changes**, making it\neffortless to review what is staged and primed for your next commit. Perform\nrelevant Git actions directly from the UI based on your repository state:\n\n**Stage & Unstage Changes**: Select and stage modified files right from the list.** Commit**: Craft your commit message and commit your changes directly from the sidebar without switching contexts.\n\n### 2. An embedded terminal for everything else\n\nAccess to your terminal embedded right in Antigravity 2.0 gives you access to many more of your command line tools that you would need to switch to before. You can now maintain your focus by having your devtools a click away in the terminal. Use the terminal to run tests, linters, build tools, preform package management, and any other command line tool that you need to use.\n\n## Summary & What’s Next\n\nWhile full visibility into your Git working tree solves a major visibility gap, the real benefit is completing the development loop end-to-end within Antigravity 2.0. By combining working tree diffs, an embedded terminal, and direct Git operations in the right-side panel, you can inspect changes that the agent is making, run commands, and push commits without context switching.\n\nWe’d love to hear how you’re using the new VCS controls! Try out the side panel\nin your daily workflows and let us know what you think on\n** X (@antigravity)**.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/version-control-system-with-antigravity", "canonical_source": "https://antigravity.google/blog/vcs-and-terminal", "published_at": "2026-08-27 13:28:32+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-27 13:49:25.759914+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Antigravity 2.0", "Git"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/version-control-system-with-antigravity", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/version-control-system-with-antigravity.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/version-control-system-with-antigravity.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/version-control-system-with-antigravity.jsonld"}}
