The repo drawer

Click any card in Mission Control to slide out the repo drawer — a focused detail view that never leaves the grid. It's organised into tabs, and the footer keeps the same launch actions as the card.

The repo detail drawer

Overview

The home tab for a repo:

  • Branches — every local branch with its upstream and ahead/behind state; switch branch in a click.
  • Recent commits — the latest history with author and relative time.
  • Worktrees — list, add, and remove linked git worktrees. Create one to work on a branch in parallel, or to drop an agent into an isolated tree. Removing a worktree unlinks it; the folder stays on disk.

Changes

Everything for turning working changes into a commit:

  • Staged diff — a syntax-aware view of what's staged.
  • AI commit message — draft a message from the staged diff, then commit inline. (Shown when AI is on.)
  • Changelog — summarise recent history into release-style notes.

PRs

For repos hosted on GitHub, the PRs tab is a compact action panel over the repo's open pull requests:

  • CI checks — the rolled-up status plus individual check runs.
  • Reviews — who approved or requested changes, and the overall review decision.
  • Mergeability — clean vs. conflicting.
  • Quick-merge — merge a PR with the method you choose, limited to the methods the repository actually allows (squash / rebase / merge). You can also approve from here.

This is the fastest path from "CI is green" to "merged" without opening a browser. See also the Inbox for PRs across every repo at once.

Notes

A scratchpad that belongs to the repo, plus a catch-up:

  • Notes — free-text notes per repo, autosaved and stored in the local cache. Good for "where was I", a TODO, or context you don't want in the codebase.
  • Resume — a "what changed since I last looked" banner: the count of new commits, and (with AI on) a short synthesized catch-up. Orrery remembers the commit you'd last seen, so the catch-up is scoped to exactly the new work.

Readme

The repo's rendered README, so you can remind yourself what a project is without switching apps.
