What It Can Do

Within a session, TheGitAI combines local tools on your machine with the model on the server to get real work done in your repo.

Conversation & context

• Multi-turn chat that remembers prior messages, tool outputs, and repo changes for the duration of the session.
• Applies lightweight environment hints when it detects a Python virtual environment or a Node package.json at the project root.

Files & edits

• Inspect files and directories.
• Create, update, and delete files inside the target repo.
• Track edit checkpoints during a session and safely restore changes the agent made to files or commands.

Shell

• Run non-interactive shell commands when a task needs them — always behind the approval rules of the current mode.

Code intelligence

The code-intelligence layer is intentionally LSP-free:

• Look up definitions, symbols, and signatures across your code.
• Surface diagnostics from your project's own build and lint commands.
• Reindex changed files so later turns work against fresh code.

Documents

• Read documents such as PDF and XLSX as part of a task. Large PDFs are read in bounded chunks so a single read stays within one response.

Web

• Fetch public URLs when a task needs information from the web. Large pages come back with coverage and continuation details so the agent can keep reading where it left off.
