The Git shell is a dockable window where you can update and review the status of the Git repositories on your system. This window shows the output of Git commands that are issued from UEStudio's integrated Git functionality, but you can also issue your own Git commands directly in this window.

You can open the Git shell window by any of the following methods:

  1. By clicking "Show Git shell" in the Git sub-menu in the "Version control" group of the Project tab
  2. By clicking on the Status... button in the Git branch manager
  3. By selecting "Status..." from the repository context menu in the Explorer / Project pane of the Workspace manager

UEStudio automatically refreshes the Git Shell window after issuing any Git command and after detecting any modifications to the repository.

You can use the Repository drop down to select which Git repository on your local system you'd like to interact with in the Git shell window.

The Git shell context menu includes the following options:

Refresh status Issues a Git "status" command and writes output to Git shell
Clear output Clears currently displayed output
Copy to clipboard Copies all Git shell output to clipboard
Copy selected line to clipboard Copies selected line(s) to clipboard. You can select multiple lines in the Git shell by using Shift + Click.
Set output font Allows you to set the font for the Git shell.

At the bottom of the Git Shell is a command input box where you can run custom Git commands not directly supported by UEStudio. Commands should be issued as they normally would be on the Unix command line, minus the preceding git. All output from the command(s) run is returned in the Git shell. UEStudio will automatically detect and reflect any changes to your repository / branch that result from any commands issued in the Git shell.
