    \title Commit your first change

    When working with Git, you typically check and stage you local changes,
    commit them to the local repository, and then push them to a remote
    repository (\e origin).

    Before you start, set up Git in \preferences > \uicontrol {Version Control}
    > \uicontrol {General}.

    \section1 Commit to a new repository

    To commit and push your first change to a new repository:

    \list 1
        \li To start tracking changes, go to \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Git,
            and then select \uicontrol {Create Repository}.
        \li To view local changes, go to \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Git >
            \uicontrol {Local Repository} and select \uicontrol {Diff}.
            \image {qtcreator-git-diff-repository.webp} {Git Diff Repository view}
            \caption Git Diff Repository view
        \li Right-click a changed line and select \uicontrol {Stage Chunk} to add
            the \e {chunk} to the staging area or \uicontrol {Stage Selection}
            to add the selected lines there.
        \li To commit the staged changes to the local repository, go to
            \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Local Repository}
            and select \uicontrol Commit.
            \image {qtcreator-git-commit.webp} {Git Commit view}
            \caption Git Commit view
        \li Select the files to commit, and then select
            \uicontrol {Commit <n/m> File(s)} to commit the changes to the local
            repository.
        \li To push the committed changes to a remote repository, go to
            \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Remote Repository}
            and select \uicontrol Push.

            If the local branch does not have an upstream branch in the remote
            repository, \QC prompts you to create it and set it as \e origin.
    \endlist

    \section1 Commit to an existing repository

    To commit and push your first change to an existing repository:

    \list 1
        \li To pull changes from a remote repository, go to \uicontrol Tools >
            \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Remote Repository} and select
            \uicontrol Pull.
        \li Select \uicontrol {Stash & Pop} to stash all local changes before
            pulling and to apply your stash on top of the pulled working tree
            state.
        \li To commit the changes to the local repository, go to \uicontrol Tools
            > \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Local Repository} and select
            \uicontrol Commit.
        \li To push the committed changes to a remote repository, go to

    \title Initialize Git repositories

    To start controlling a project directory that is currently not under
    version control, go to \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Git, and then select
    \uicontrol {Create Repository}.

    \QC creates a new subdirectory named \c {.git} that has all the necessary
    repository files.

    However, Git does not track anything in the project yet, so you need to
    create an initial commit to start tracking the project files.

    \title git diff

    You can \e {diff} the current file or project to compare it with the latest
    version stored in the repository and to display the differences.

    \list
        \li To view changes in the current file, go to \uicontrol Tools >

    \endlist

    The \uicontrol {Git Diff} view shows the diff in a read-only editor. If \QC
    can access the file, you can double-click a diff chunk to open an editor
    that displays the file and line.

    To fold all diff chunks, select \inlineimage {icons/qtcreator-expand.png} {Fold All}
    (\uicontrol {Fold All}) from the toolbar. This collapses all diff chunks in
    the \uicontrol {Git Diff} view, making it easier to navigate large diffs.

    \section1 Toggle unified and side-by-side views

    The \uicontrol {Git Diff} view displays the diff side-by-side. To use
    the unified diff view instead, select the
    \uicontrol {Switch to Unified Diff Editor} (1) option from the toolbar.

    \section1 Show Git status in the Projects view

    To show changed files in the \l {Projects} view in a different color, go to

    \uicontrol {Show VCS file status}.

    \section1 Stage and unstage changes

    Stage your changes to commit them, so that you can push them to the remote
    repository or send them to Gerrit for review. To stage changes for a commit
    chunk-by-chunk or line-by-line, right-click a chunk or line in the
    \uicontrol {Git Diff} view and select context menu commands to stage or
    unstage it.

    \title Show instant blame

    Instant blame annotates the current editor line with its author and the date
    this line was last changed. Optionally, the annotation shows the commit
    subject.

    To show instant blame for the current file, go to \uicontrol Tools >
    \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Current File} and select
    \uicontrol {Instant Blame for <file>}.

    \note Instant blame is not available for unsaved files.

    To show the latest real changes to the line, configure instant blame to ignore
    whitespace changes and line moves.

    When you hover over the annotation, a tooltip with additional information is shown.
    From the tooltip, the following actions are available:

    \table
        \header
            \li Menu Item
            \li Description
        \row
            \li Blame <hash>
            \li Opens the full file blame for the revision of \e hash.
        \row
            \li Blame Parent
            \li Opens the full file blame for the parent revision of \e hash.
        \row
            \li File at <hash>
            \li Opens the file contents at the revision of \e hash.
        \row
            \li Log for line <line>
            \li Shows a log with all the commits that touched the \e line.
        \row
            \li \inlineimage {icons/copy.png} {Copy Hash to Clipboard}
                (\uicontrol {Copy Hash to Clipboard})
            \li Copies the full \e hash to the clipboard.
        \row
            \li commit <hash>
            \li Opens the commit \e hash with full description and diff.
    \endtable

    \note Most of these actions have no meaning for uncommmited changes.

    \title Use Git with Subversion

    You can use Git as a client for a Subversion server. To fetch changes from a
    Subversion repository to a Git repository, go to \uicontrol Tools >
    \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Remote Repository} > \uicontrol Subversion >
    \uicontrol Fetch.

    \section1 View Git Subversion log

    To view the Git Subversion log, select \uicontrol Log.

    \section1 Publish commits to Subversion

    To publish the commits from the current branch to the Subversion server,
    select \uicontrol DCommit. This will create a revision in Subversion for
    every local Git commit. Afterwards, the branch is rebased or reset
    depending on whether or not there is a diff between Subversion and head.

    \title Review code with Gerrit

    If your Git project uses Gerrit for code reviews, you can view your changes
    in \QC.

    To push committed changes to Gerrit, go to \uicontrol Tools >
    \uicontrol Git > \uicontrol {Remote Repository} >

    Select \uicontrol {Draft/private} to push changes that are
    only visible to you and the reviewers. If you are using Gerrit 2.15 or
    later, you can select \uicontrol {Work-in-progress} to push
    changes that do not generate email notifications.

    \section1 View changes as in Gerrit

    To view the same information about each change as in the Gerrit
    web interface, go to \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Git >
    \uicontrol {Remote Repository} > \uicontrol Gerrit.

    \section1 Refresh changes

    To refresh the list of changes, select \uicontrol Refresh.

    \uicontrol Remote lists the remotes of the current repository that
    are detected as Gerrit servers. Go to \preferences >
    \uicontrol {Version Control} > \uicontrol Gerrit to specify a fallback
    connection to a Gerrit server over SSH. The Gerrit REST interface and the
    \l{https://curl.haxx.se/}{curl} tool are used for HTTP connections.

    Select \uicontrol HTTPS to prepend \c https to the Gerrit URL
    if Gerrit does not add it.
