Question 1

Can Git Brain explain a historical commit with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open a commit in Git Brain's visual history and select Explain with AI. Git Brain builds the explanation from the commit message and redacted first-parent text diff, excludes binary files, and lets you continue in chat or copy the context to a CLI agent. Supported agents can also call the explain_commit MCP tool.

Question 2

How does Git Brain handle large feature changesets with AI?

Accepted Answer

Git Brain processes multi-file feature branch diffs smoothly in the background, performing client-side secret redaction before transmission so your code remains private and secure.

Question 3

Can Git Brain resolve every file in a conflicted merge with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start the whole-merge AI action from the Commit tab to generate a proposal for every supported conflicted file. You can review, edit, or deselect each proposal before applying it. Git Brain verifies that the conflicts have not changed, commits only when none remain, and never pushes automatically.

Question 4

Do stacked pull requests require GitHub?

Accepted Answer

No. Git Brain can create and push the same dependent branch chain to any Git remote. GitHub.com adds draft pull requests and a native GitHub stack; other providers keep the branch stack ready for their own review workflow.

Question 5

How do AI agents connect to Git Brain's MCP server?

Accepted Answer

VS Code and Cursor connect automatically. For CLI tools like Claude Code or Codex, Git Brain provides 1-click config copying for Stdio or Loopback Streamable HTTP.
