Common questions
A few things worth knowing.
How the desktop app, workspace, and connected servers fit together.
Contact supportWhat is StarGit?
StarGit combines a desktop Git client with a web workspace for repositories, team collaboration, and automation. StarBridge connects the workspace to your repository servers.
Where should I start?
For local repository work, download the desktop app and follow the installation tutorial. To connect a server, use the StarBridge setup guide.
Where do my repositories live?
In the connected-server workflow, repositories live on the machines you connect through StarBridge. StarGit coordinates operations and stores workspace metadata; StarBridge runs Git operations on the repository host.
Do I need StarBridge for desktop work?
The desktop app works with local repositories. Set up StarBridge when you want the web workspace to coordinate operations on a connected server.
How do I manage several repositories?
Use the desktop repository explorer for local projects and the web workspace for connected repositories. The synchronization tutorial explains how to review state across environments.
Why is an operation still pending?
Remote operations run asynchronously. Check that the StarBridge host is online, its heartbeat is current, and the queue has a result. Use support if an operation remains stuck.
How is AI assistance configured?
