## First launch
1. This PC lists local and removable volumes Windows already knows.
The window opens immediately. Locations fill in a moment later — Workbench does not wait for slow network shares or a second instance locking the index.
2. Browsing works with an empty index.
3. Folder sizes, search, duplicates, and storage analysis need an index. Use the banner **Build index**, **Tools → Locations → Index this location**, or the toolbar **Index** control.
4. Data lives under `%LocalAppData%\ExplorerWorkbench\` — never beside the executable.

## Git
Workbench detects repositories and shows a badge (branch, modified, untracked, ahead/behind). **Tools → Development → Open terminal here** and **Open in Cursor** are available when a folder is in context.
Workbench detects repositories and shows a badge (branch, modified, untracked, ahead/behind, merging/rebasing). **Tools → Development** (and the folder context menu) offers **View changes…**, **Commit…**, **Fetch**, **Pull (fast-forward)**, **Pull (merge)**, **Push**, **Open terminal here**, and **Open in Cursor** when a folder is in a repository.
Missing `git.exe` means no badge. Path can be set in Settings. Git is not bundled. There is no commit, push, pull, or diff viewer. Profiles can require a clean working tree.
**View changes** lists staged, unstaged, untracked, and unmerged paths from `git status`. Double-click opens a unified **diff** (`git diff` / `git diff --cached`). **Open in Cursor** opens the file. Online-only cloud files are not opened or diffed (that would download them). Stage, unstage, and discard call the matching `git` commands. Discard asks first.
**Commit** asks for a message and which files to include. Unmerged paths, online-only cloud files, and folders are skipped. A merge, rebase, cherry-pick, or revert in progress blocks a normal commit — use **Continue** or **Abort**. Workbench runs `git add` then `git commit --only` for the checked paths, so other staged files stay staged.
**Merge** is conflict resolution, not a mergetool: **Use ours**, **Use theirs**, **Mark resolved**, then **Continue** (`git commit --no-edit` / `rebase --continue`). **Abort** restores the previous state. Incoming rebase/cherry-pick/revert from a terminal can be finished the same way.
**Pull (fast-forward)** is `git pull --ff-only --no-rebase`. If that cannot fast-forward, Workbench offers **Pull (merge)** (`git pull --no-rebase`) or a terminal. Fetch and push are the matching `git` commands. There is no stash, branch UI, mergetool, or credential dialog (`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`).
Missing `git.exe` means no badge and no Git actions. Path can be set in Settings. Git is not bundled. Profiles can require a clean working tree.
