Installing Git for Checkpoints

Dev Agent uses Git under the hood to create checkpoints of your workspace throughout tasks. Every time Dev Agent makes changes to your files, it automatically creates a Git commit, allowing you to track and revert changes if needed. Follow the instructions below to install Git for your operating system.

macOS

If you don't have Homebrew installed, install it first Install Git using Homebrew: brew install git Quit and re-open VSCode. Dev Agent will automatically detect Git and enable checkpoints.

Windows

Download and run the official Git installer from git-scm.com Quit and re-open VSCode. Dev Agent will automatically detect Git and enable checkpoints.

Linux

Ubuntu/Debian
