Git Lite is the default source control panel in the Code IDE. It provides a purpose-built Git workflow that keeps you in sync with your main branch, perfect for users new to Git or those who prefer a streamlined interface. Open it from the **Source Control** icon in the left icon strip.

<Info>
  Git Lite creates new branches from your remote main/master branch and automatically handles syncing with remote branches. You can switch to [Git Advanced](/products/code-ide/version-control/git-advanced) at any time from the status bar.

| **Branch dropdown**      | Shows your current branch and lets you create or switch branches.                                        |
| **Sync status**          | Tells you whether your branch is up to date with origin, with a manual refresh button.                   |
| **Changes**              | The list of modified files, with **Select all** and **Discard all changes**.                             |

## Common actions
