Moving a branch to a commit far away in the graph? In SmartGit’s Standard window, drag branches between the Graph & the branch list. Hover over another branch while dragging to reveal it in the Graph. Part of #SmartGit 26.2 Preview 👉 smartgit.dev/whats-new/26_2 #Git #DevTools

Long lines in a diff mean scrolling sideways just to read the end. SmartGit’s Changes view now has Word-Wrap: one toolbar toggle, in both unified and side-by-side view and #SmartGit remembers it. Part of the 26.2 Preview 👉 smartgit.dev/whats-new/26_2 #Git #CodeReview #DevTools

“Can you look at this commit?” Then comes the back-and-forth about which branch, which hash. SmartLinks let you share a link to a commit. Others can open it in #SmartGit or on the web & review it. Available in SmartGit 26.2 Preview 👉 smartgit.dev/whats-new/26_2 #Git #CodeReview

Most #Git clients still show moved code as deleted + rewritten. With #SmartGit 26.2.007 that starts to change. It detects in-file and cross-file moves even with uneven blocks. Plus shareable commit links & cleaner line wrapping. More details here: smartgit.dev/whats-new/26_2/ #AI

Most AI coding tools are racing to become the next IDE. SmartGit 26.2 took the opposite bet 🚀 Codex and Claude now run inside SmartGit — not replacing your workflow, wired directly into Git itself: ✅ Every agent session gets its own isolated workspace + branch ✅ Multiple agents work in parallel without touching each other's changes ✅ SmartGit feeds them the relevant Git context automatically — commits, branches, history ✅ Everything runs locally, and every result is reviewed, refined, accepted, or discarded by you This isn't another vibe-coding environment — there are already strong tools for that. SmartGit's bet is different: agents handle more of the work autonomously, while Git and SmartGit keep it structured, transparent, and reviewable the whole time. We're actively looking for feedback on where the AI-Git integration should go next. SmartGit 26.2 is out now 🎉 Try it out here 👉 smartgit.dev/download/previe… What's the first thing you'd want an agent to handle in your Git workflow? #SmartGit #AIAgents #Git #SoftwareDevelopment #DeveloperExperience #ClaudeAI #Codex #EngineeringLeadership

Still using git stash for emergency hotfixes? Stop 🛑 There’s a much better way to manage multiple branches without losing your progress or wasting disk space. It’s called Git Worktree. In this video, I show you how to use SmartGit to check out multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories. No more messy stashes, no more duplicate clones. Just clean, efficient engineering. Key Takeaways: ✅ Why git stash can be risky for complex changes. ✅ How to add a worktree in SmartGit. ✅ Handling hotfixes without touching your feature branch. 🚀 Stop the stashing madness and start coding smarter.

Still merging feature branches one by one and ending up with a sausage link Git history? Stop 🛑 There’s a cleaner, more professional way to handle coordinated releases: the Octopus Merge. In this video, I show you how to take 3 feature branches and a critical bug fix and merge them all at once into your develop branch using SmartGit. It’s an elegant, a few clicks operation that keeps your timeline clean and your team’s story easy to read.

Just dropped the SmartGit 26.2 Preview 🎉 One of the things we’ve been quietly improving is move detection in the Changes view. When code gets moved around (especially with AI-generated changes), it’s becoming much clearer what’s actually moved vs. rewritten (still in progress — stay tuned). You can see it in the side-by-side view with the “Moved” markers. We’re also continuing to refine the Changes view overall — word wrap is already in, and we’re treating review of AI-generated code as a first-class problem. Preview is available here, ready for you to try it: smartgit.dev/download/previe… Would love feedback from people who deal with large refactors or AI-assisted commits. #SmartGit #Git #DevTools #CodeReview #AICoding #Programming #DeveloperTools

One month later and we’re still thinking about WeAreDevelopers Berlin 🔥 Three days of real Git conversations, merge-conflict war stories, table soccer, and a lot of SmartGitty. Our booth motto was “Your Git Mission Starts Here” — and the energy matched it.
