This feature helps you quickly identify and include files that are part of your Git repository. How Git-aware selection works The Git-aware fuzzy finder automatically integrates with your repository's Git information to provide enhanced file selection capabilities: * Recognizes Git-tracked files in your repository * Shows Git status indicators alongside files * Prioritizes relevant files based on Git history Using Git-aware file selection To use git-aware file selection * Navigate to your Git repository in the terminal. * Run the context add command: /context add * In the fuzzy finder interface, you'll see files from your repository with Git status indicators: * M – Modified files * A – Added files * ? – Untracked files * Type to filter files, using Git status as part of your search criteria. * Use the arrow keys to navigate and press Enter to select files to add to your context. Tips for Git-aware selection * Use Git status indicators in your search to quickly find modified or untracked files * The fuzzy finder prioritizes recently modified files in Git history * Files ignored by Git (via .gitignore) are still available but deprioritized in the results Page updated: August 4, 2026 Responding to messages Images
