Browsing code in the dashboard

Explore files, view commits and diffs, and find your way around a repository without leaving the dashboard.

Updated Aug 4, 2026Git & Version Control

The code explorer lets you browse your repository right inside the dashboard — no local clone required.

What you can do

  • Navigate the file tree and read files with syntax highlighting.
  • Switch branches and tags.
  • View commit history and the full diff for any commit.
  • Jump between pull requests and the code they change.

When it’s useful

The explorer is handy for quick reviews, checking what a teammate changed, or looking up configuration — all without opening a terminal.

AI-powered context

MonkeysAI can read the file you’re looking at, so you can ask questions like “what does this file do?” or “why was this function added?” while you browse. See the MonkeysAI overview for more.
