Really? I tried it yesterday from within Rider and I gave up on it because I couldn't even figure out how to push or pull. Best I could find was fetch.

Not the biggest deal since neither of those commands require interacting with the output which makes them equally easy to run from the terminal, but it's strange that they're not available in an immediately obvious place.

You can customize the menu (and I do) to add a Git menu sub panel (for lack of a better word) that has an up and down arrow for push and pull.

In the lower right, there's the vcs "where you're at" that shows the current branch. From there you can see the status of your branch compared to others (if you need to fetch them), or you can update branches (even those you're not currently on) along with branch specific operations including push. You can access the same in the git panel with right clicking on branches in the log.

At any time, you can double tap shift to bring up the "search everything" window. Within that, if you type "git push", it will display that action along with the menu that action is in and any key shortcuts that are bound to it.

Oh wow I didn't know that search everything in Jetbrains products included the menus and not just the contents of the project. That's handy to know. I've been a fan of Ctrl-Shift-P in Sublime Text, so it's always good to see similar features in other software.

I've used it for the "where is that show whitespace menu setting? meh... shift shift whitespace. Change setting."

Also, glance under the "Help" menu - there's a productivity guide. That shows you a whole bunch of features (and how often they're used) and how to use them.

Double-shift can show too much, to find only actions try `Cmd+Shift+A` and type the name of the action you want to run.

Others mentioned the shortcuts, but there's also obvious buttons in the toolbar with a green up-arrow for commit+push (the button for Commit has an option to also Push) and a blue down-arrow for pull.

Maybe you disabled the git toolbar in the menu?

Ctrl-T for pull, Ctrl-Shift-K for push.
