Project Description (min 2 to 5 sentences)
Implement Add additional source control operations to the... (gitlab-org&11142) • Unassigned
The current Web IDE in GitLab only supports basic version control operations through its API. Developers who use the Web IDE can't use important Git commands like stash (temporarily saving changes), rebase (reorganizing commit history), or amending commits. This limitation forces developers to switch between the Web IDE and command line, breaking their coding flow and reducing productivity.

Project Details/Project Goal
Enhance GitLab's Web IDE by implementing advanced Git operations that developers commonly use. You'll work on adding features like stashing changes, rebasing branches, amending commits, and force pushing. This will make the Web IDE more powerful and allow developers to perform complex version control tasks without leaving their browser.
