## What it is
A JupyterLab extension that adds Git version control support to the JupyterLab interface, providing a left-panel UI for staging, committing, branching, and pushing changes. It includes a Python/jupyter-server backend that wraps Git commands and a bundled frontend extension.

## Use cases
- track notebook changes with git inside jupyterlab
- commit and push notebooks from jupyterlab ui
- view git diff of jupyter notebooks
- manage branches in jupyterlab
- stage and commit files without leaving jupyterlab
- set up git authentication for remote repos in jupyter

## When to choose
- you use JupyterLab and want integrated Git workflows
- you want a visual Git panel for notebooks and files
- you need to commit/push from a remote Jupyter server

## When to avoid
- you use plain Jupyter Notebook classic or another IDE
- you prefer command-line Git workflows
- you need Git features beyond the extension's supported UI operations

## Facets
