Problem or use case

There's been a PR/advert for Jujustu (coming soon) for ages (assuming not high priority). Once extra source controls are supported it'd be nice to get Gitbutler in there too. Seems it has an SDK https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/tree/master/packages/but-sdk.

Proposed solution

MVP - replace the source control dropdown to run but instead of git (it does push/branch/pr etc - although i'd typically use gh cli to pr instead).

A deeper integration would show the status, current branches and offer things like rub/land etc.

Why this matters

Why butler over jj? the mental model is easier (at least for me) and works great with multiple agents.

Smallest useful scope

MVP - replace the source control dropdown to run but instead of git (it does push/branch/pr etc - although i'd typically use gh cli to pr instead).

Alternatives considered

Using the console window at the bottom - although annoying that it's per chat (a pinned terminal would be a good compromise)

fwiw I've been working with a few niceties for a month or two, just to keep things clear when I'm working. I'm still relying on skills to actually use but and I would LOVE to have the branch diff working.

Decided to pick this back up! I'm pretty hesitant to submit this as a pull request because Orchestrator V2 is supposedly landing soon. And I think it's just going to conflict with everything that we do...

Sidebar

Now it shows the checked-out virtual branch in the sidebar and the tooltip. Unless there isn't one, then it just shows "GitButler."
