Ask first, or get out of the way
Default mode asks before edits and commands. Auto-Accept keeps trusted work moving. Plan mode stays read-only.
Install and work—no provider account, API keys, or model wiring. Give TheGitAI real autonomy while assistant edits remain reviewable, undoable, and recoverable by checkpoint.
Real work crosses files, tools, processes, tests, and documentation. TheGitAI keeps that chain coherent from the first investigation to the final handoff—and every change it makes along the way stays reversible.
Every assistant edit is journaled as it happens. Preview a reversal before it runs, then take back a single edit, a whole turn, or selected files from a checkpoint—while the work you did yourself stays exactly where you left it.
Independent file reads, code searches, symbol queries, document reads, and web lookups run together. Mutations stay ordered.
Keep dev servers, watchers, builds, and local APIs alive. Follow output, inspect logs, and stop jobs without blocking the conversation.
Put the spec, screenshot, spreadsheet, Word document, PDF, or live web page inside the same engineering task.
Give TheGitAI the outcome, not a sequence of tiny prompts. It can carry the work through investigation, implementation, verification, documentation, and handoff.
Map the repository and gather the relevant evidence.
Create coherent edits across source, tests, and docs.
Use the real project, shell, services, and diagnostics.
Test, build, lint, typecheck, and inspect the final diff.
Explain what changed and leave the repository ready to review.
Run focused tests, builds, linters, typecheckers, diagnostics, and scratch scripts. The final answer reports what actually passed and what still needs attention.
The same task can touch implementation, tests, configuration, docs, screenshots, and external references without losing the thread between them.
Trust does not come from a promise that nothing can go wrong. It comes from seeing what the agent is doing, holding the sensitive actions behind an approval, and knowing where it can and cannot reach.
Default mode asks before edits and commands. Auto-Accept keeps trusted work moving. Plan mode stays read-only.
Work is scoped to the project directory, sensitive paths are guarded, and secrets are stripped from the command output that reaches the model and your session history.
Local file, shell, session, approval, containment, and redaction behavior stays inspectable. Provider credentials remain server-side.
We don't store your source files, your prompts, or your conversations on our servers. Session history stays on your machine; the server keeps metadata only.
Privacy policyThere is no dashboard to learn and no configuration ceremony. The shortest path to value is the repository already open in your terminal.
One global install gives you the ai command. No project plugin or provider setup.
Use the browser flow locally or a one-time code on a remote machine. No API keys.
The agent works against the repository in your current directory and maps its structure.
Describe the finished result. Review progress, approve sensitive actions, and inspect the diff.
Hand it a real repository and a real task. Assistant edits stay reviewable, undoable, and recoverable by checkpoint while TheGitAI carries the work to a verified change.
