Feedback: Add state of git branch on v0

Hey all. Probably like others, I’ve experienced a number of intermittent issues with the github integration with the new git branch workflow. I submit a prompt, v0 does a lot of work, then it commits and pushes to the origin. Elsewhere, I fetch & pull these changes, compile and deploy. Yay, that’s the happy path. And it works.

…well most of the time. But sometimes for whatever reason, v0 fails to actually push to the remote. As a workaround, I have found the terminal feature super helpful. I open up the v0 terminal, do a git status, git commit -am ‘my commit message’, then git push. Great!

But one minor quality of life UI tweak I highly recommend you all consider is adding some chat prompt feedback on the state of the git branch.

Here is a screenshot of the bottom of my prmopt workflow. It spent about 95 seconds making changes. But then my changes were NOT pushed. So I open the terminal to do my workaround. And half way through my workaround, they got committed and pushed. During this time there was no feedback in the chat transcript that it had been committed and pushed.

I would love it if there was feedback here on the left that said something like Worked for 1m 35s, then a new line that says ‘Committing and pushing to branch…’ and then ‘Committed and pushed to branch’ when completed. I’d like to know if it is in sync.

Great feedback! Some clearity about the git push/sync would be really nice to have!

Great feedback. I shipped this video yesterday to help educate folks better on understanding the workflow: New video: How to use GitHub with v0. It doesn’t solve all issues, but definitely is helpful.

I hardly use the terminal in v0. But this is a great workaround, thanks for sharing!

I really like this idea! Will share.

Agreed on this. Great UX copy and messaging.
