The Antigravity Workflow
Forget the terminal. Forget git commands. Let the Agent manage the mess.
Traditional coding requires you to be a librarian—constantly saving files, committing changes, and syncing versions. In Google Antigravity, the Agent is your librarian.
Agent vs. You
| Task | Interaction | Antigravity Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Coding | You type every character | Agent writes whole files |
| Testing | You switch windows & refresh | Agent opens browser & clicks |
| Saving | You run git commit -m "update" | Agent snapshots every step |
| Fixing | You Google error messages | Agent reads error & fixes it |
How to specific “Source Control”
You generally don’t need to “save” in the traditional sense.
1. Autosave & History
Antigravity saves your work constantly, just like Google Docs. If you close the tab or crash your browser, your session is preserved. However, this is not a backup.
For long-term safety and collaboration, you must use source control (see below).
2. The Agent “Commits” for You
Every time an Agent completes a task, it allows you to snapshot that state.
- You can treat these as “Checkpoints” to roll back to if an agent goes down a rabbit hole.
- It’s like a time machine for your coding session.
3. “Syncing” to the World
When you’re ready to share your code (or move it to Vercel), you simply ask the Agent:
“Connect this project to my GitHub repository.”
The Agent will:
- Initialize the repository
- Handle the authentication
- Push your code
Zero terminal commands required.
4. Branching & Code Review
You don’t just push to main. Agents can handle professional workflows too:
“Create a new branch called ‘feature/login-page’, make these changes, and then push it.”
Once pushed, you can open a Pull Request (PR) on GitHub to have other humans (or AI) review the code before it merges.

The “Agent Manager” View
Since Agents work asynchronously (meaning they work while you sleep), you use the Agent Manager to track them.
- Plan: See what the agent intends to do.
- Watch: See the video of the agent clicking around your app.
- Review: Approve or reject the changes before they become permanent.
This turns you from a “Coder” into a “Product Manager.” You define the what, the Agent handles the how.
