DOCS / REPOSITORIES
Repository page
Clicking a repository row in the sidebar opens its page: the “what’s going on in this repo” screen. The back chevron in the top-left (“All repositories”) returns to the Repositories dashboard.
Header
Section titled “Header”The header identifies the repository — folder icon and name — followed by a line of links and facts:
- Open folder ↗ opens the checkout in Finder / Explorer; hover it to see the full path.
- Open in GitHub ↗ (or Open in GitLab, Open in Azure DevOps) opens the
repository’s web page, worked out from its remote (
originfirst; SSH remotes map to the https page on the same host). A host Birch can’t name reads Open in browser, and a remote with no web page to offer shows no link. Hover it to see the URL. A visibility glyph sits beside it. - The default branch, in monospace.
When the window is narrow, the default branch gives way first, then the provider link; Open folder always stays. Then come three actions:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Fetch | Runs a fetch against the remote; the icon spins while it runs |
| Open Git | Opens the repository’s Git view — Changes, History, and Stash |
| New workspace | Launches the create-workspace dialog for this repository |
Commits
Section titled “Commits”The COMMITS pane draws the commit graph — lanes, merge curves, and colored dots — beside a text column listing each commit’s short SHA, ref chips (branches and tags), subject, author, and date. The two columns share one selection and scroll in lockstep: clicking a row in either side highlights it in both. Load more at the bottom extends the history further back.
Open pull requests
Section titled “Open pull requests”The right rail’s OPEN PULL REQUESTS section shows a card per open PR: number, title, the branch flow (source → target), a checks chip summarizing CI state (hover it for details), and a state badge. When there are none it reads “No open pull requests.” See Review & manage PRs for acting on them.
Workspaces
Section titled “Workspaces”Below the PRs, WORKSPACES lists this repository’s agent workspaces — each with its agent’s brand icon, its name, and its live status text (working, waiting for input, and so on). Click a workspace to enter it. To create one from here, use the New workspace header button.
