I normally see a Commit, or Commit & Create PR button in the top right, but I am not seeing that, even with staged changes. Is this because I created the files and not the agent?
Hey, your guess is right. The Commit and Commit & Create PR buttons in this diff tab are currently tied to the active agent conversation. They send the action as a message to the agent, and the agent runs the git operations. If files were created or changed manually and the agent doesn’t know about them, the scope is empty, so those buttons don’t show up.
For manual changes in this setup:
- Use the Source Control panel in the sidebar, the standard VS Code SCM. You’ll see staged and unstaged files there, plus the commit button.
- Or run
git addandgit commitin the terminal.
Adding a manual commit path directly in the diff tab is already on the radar as a feature request, but there’s no ETA yet.
