Launching Claude Code UI inside GitButler


GitButler can now orchestrate Claude Code from the all new Agents tab! Here's what it can currently do:

• Allows creating parallel sessions (operating independently of each other on separate branches)
• Automatic commit management upon prompt completion (optional)
• Easy (p)reviewing of generated code within the app
• Supports configuring of your own prompt templates
• It provides an overview of TODOs, Tool calls and modified files

We would love to hear any thoughts, feedback or suggestions you may have!
