# Git Advanced

> The full source control view in the Paradime Code IDE: stage individual changes, amend commits, and run fine-grained Git operations.

Git Advanced gives you the full source control view for when you need more control than [Git Lite](/products/code-ide/version-control/git-lite) offers. Turn it on with **Switch to Git Advanced** in the status bar; switch back with **Switch to Git Lite**.

## What's in the panel

* **Commit message** box with the standard commit shortcut (`⌘⏎` / `Ctrl+Enter`) to commit staged changes.
* **Staged Changes**: the files you have staged for the next commit.
* **Changes**: modified files not yet staged. Stage them individually or all at once.
* **Head Commit**: the most recent commit, with an **Amend** button to update it.
* **Open Pull Request** in the status bar to raise a PR once your work is committed.

## When to use Git Advanced

Reach for Git Advanced when you need to:

* Stage only some of your changes into a commit.
* Amend the previous commit.
* Work with staging and unstaging at the file level.

<Info>
  For deeper Git operations and history browsing, pair Git Advanced with [GitLens](/products/code-ide/version-control/gitlens). For end-to-end workflows, see the [Git Advanced guide](/guides/working-with-git/git-advanced).
