# Reference: Git commands available in Git panel
<a name="gitpanel-reference"></a>

The Git panel menu for AWS Cloud9 provides convenient user interface access to both core and advanced git commands.

Certain git commands—such as those used to merge and delete branches, for example—are only available through the Git panel search field.

You can also customize how Git panel runs commands and interacts with repositories. To modify the default settings, first choose **AWS Cloud9**, **Preferences**. Next, in the **Preferences** window, under **Project Settings**, choose **Git**. 

Pause over the information icons to read brief descriptions of the settings.

You can access detailed documentation on the Git commands listed from the official Git site: [https://git-scm.com/doc](https://git-scm.com/doc).
