Capability overview
What does guided git workflows do in DevDock?
Inspect repository state, switch branches, fetch, pull, commit, and review push destinations without losing the project context.
The project overview shows each repository's current branch, changed-file count, and known ahead or behind state, with fetch and branch actions beside it.
When ordinary branch switching is blocked by local edits, DevDock can create one protected stash for tracked, staged, and untracked changes, switch branches, and restore only that stash while leaving older stashes untouched.
Push rechecks the selected remote, shows the current branch and destination, and can guide a required pull with fast-forward, merge, or rebase before continuing the original push.
In the workflow
Review the workspace
See its folders, health, saved commands, and recent activity from one overview.
DevDock keeps the project, registered folder, working directory, execution target, and retained output connected so the same task remains understandable later.

Does DevDock replace the terminal?
No. It provides a repeatable control surface for common project workflows and can still open a registered folder in a terminal, Visual Studio Code, or File Explorer.
Does project detection run repository code?
No. Detection reads a bounded set of manifests and marker files. It does not execute package managers, build tools, project scripts, or network requests.
