# Worktrees, stashes, tags, terminal

## Worktrees

Create, open, and remove linked worktrees. Each open worktree gets its own
tab.

The useful trick: hand a branch off to another worktree **carrying its
uncommitted changes**, with a live progress checklist so you can see each
step happen. That's the operation that's fiddly and error-prone by hand.

## Stashes

One click to stash. From there: apply, pop, drop, or turn the stash into a
new branch.

Stashes appear in the commit graph at the point in history where you made
them, rather than in a detached list — so you can see what a stash was
actually based on.

> **Addressed by commit id**
>
> Stashes are tracked by commit id, not by `stash@{n}`. Those indices shift
> as stashes come and go, which is how the wrong one gets dropped. Here it
> can't happen.

## Tags

Create lightweight or annotated tags — annotated tags can be signed. Push a
tag to a remote or delete it from one, and create branches or worktrees
starting from a tag.

## Integrated terminal

Real PTY tabs running your login shell, already in the repository directory.
Not a command runner with a log pane — an actual terminal.

Because the filesystem watcher is running, anything you do there shows up in
the UI immediately. Commit from the terminal and the graph updates; stage
from the terminal and the changes panel follows.

There are also one-click launchers for AI coding agents, configurable under
Settings → **Terminal Agents**. [More →](/guides/settings)

## And the rest

- **Multi-repo tabs** with session restore
- **[File history, blame, and compare](/guides/file-history)**
- **In-repository file browser** with a guarded text editor
- **[Background auto-fetch](/guides/settings)** on a configurable interval
- **Fast-forward-only pull** with explicit divergence handling
- **[Themes, accents, and density](/guides/settings)** — dark / light / system, nine accent colours, compact or comfortable
- **[Built-in auto-updates](/reference/updates-and-channels)** on a stable or beta channel
