The repo window

Open any repo from the Dashboard and you land here. This page is the floor plan; each room has its own page.

The toolbar runs across the top of the window. Its controls are grouped at the two ends, with a gap in the middle.

Left end - the repo and your tools:

Repo name - the current repo; the menu switches to another.
Remotes - where this repo syncs; see Collaborators & sharing.
Repo settings - name, description, visibility, data-use opt-out, delete.
Bookmarks - the list of named places in history; View jumps the Map to a bookmark's step.
Folder - opens the repo's local folder in your system file manager.
Tool launchers - open this repo in your coding tools (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) or a built-in terminal, and toggle the chat agent. Coding tools open in their own apps, not as a view inside Merget.

Right end - moving through history:

The view tabs - Home, Map, Stats, Editor:
- Home: recent activity - goals, prompts, diffs.
- Map: the history graph.
- Stats: cost, tokens, contributors.
- Editor: file tree + code editor + step diff review.
Commit - only in manual commit mode, just left of the view tabs; commits held edits as a step when you click it.

There's a fifth view, the Browser: it isn't a tab. It opens from the app's Repository menu, or by opening a URL from chat or a terminal.

The left panel

The left panel is either:

Chat - the chat agent that answers questions about your repo's history with cited sources, or
Terminals - built-in terminal panes (up to four) running your coding agents or a shell.

Pick which with the tool buttons in the toolbar. Drag the divider between the panel and the content area to resize; the split is remembered.

Status at a glance

The toolbar's left side shows the repo name and its sync state. On the Map, the filled HEAD indicator shows where you're checked out - see The history model for what the states mean.
