Git

SpaceYard provides Git tools for inspecting and managing source changes in a project. Git is also useful outside SpaceYard, so your commits are not tied to the app.

When creating a project, you can choose Initialize Git. For an existing project, use its Git actions if the folder already contains a repository or initialize one when offered.

Open the project's Git area and review modified, added and deleted files. Select the changes you intend to include in a commit.

1. Review the diff before staging.
2. Stage only the related files.
3. Write a short commit message explaining the change.
4. Commit after checking the staged file list.

Safety: Do not commit .env files, tokens, passwords, private SSH keys or database backups. Check the repository's .gitignore before your first commit.

Use the available branch and history controls when you need to review earlier work. If you're unfamiliar with a Git command, make a backup or commit your current work before attempting a reset, checkout or cleanup.
