  • Create, delete, and rename files and folders.
  • Move files and folders with drag and drop.
  • Use the context menu to explore all options.

Link anchorSource Control

Codeanywhere has integrated source control management and includes Git support by default. The Source Control widget can be very useful for users who use their containers for working on their remote git repositories.

The Source Control icon will always indicate an overview of how many changes you currently have in your repository.

Selecting the icon will show you the details of your current repository changes:

  • CHANGES
  • STAGED CHANGES
  • MERGE CHANGES

There are several useful buttons in the Source Control widget header:

  • 1: Toggle between Tree view and List view of your repository changes
  • 2: Commit your changes
  • 3: Refresh the Source Control widget
  • 4: Add a Signed-off-by trailer at the end of the commit message
  • 5: Menu with the most common git commands
