October 29, 2026 Creating a branch in Git Lite used to mean typing a name that didn’t exist into the branch picker. Now it’s a button.
  • + New branch sits next to the Branch label above the picker.
  • The picker’s dropdown ends with a pinned New branch row. Type a name and it reads Create branch “name”.
  • On the read-only default branch, the empty state has a Create branch button.
See Git Lite. The Code IDE also starts faster and reloads less:
  • A dropped connection no longer reloads the editor in a tab you aren’t looking at. It waits until you come back, and short drops reconnect without a reload.
  • Your editor layout is saved when you switch tabs.
  • Git Lite polls once per browser tab and pauses while the tab is hidden. This fixes cannot lock ref and ambiguous argument errors on branches you haven’t pushed yet.
