Git Workspace

A convenient Git-based file explorer that displays (1) currently changed files, and (2) ALL files ever modified by the current branch (since its creation!) for one or more Git repositories.

Features

• 📁 File Explorer Panel
  Displays all changed files (both tracked and untracked) from the specified Git repositories.

• 🔀 Branch Diff View
  Additionally, shows ALL changes of the current branch compared to its origin (the fork-off point from the master or main branch)! This provides a clear view of every file the branch has ever changed, ignoring intermediate merges! Ideal for visualizing the full impact of a feature/topic branch.

• 🖱️ Right-Click Actions

  • Diff to Latest Commit – View changes since the last commit.
  • Diff to Branch Origin – View all changes since the branch split from main/master.
  • Rename – Rename the file.
  • Rollback – Restore the last committed state.
  • Delete – Move to trash (if supported, else delete).

• ⚙️ Custom Workflows
  A custom workflow is a set of commands that are executed in succession within the selected repository. Custom Workflows can be executed in a specific repository by clicking on it in the extension's explorer. See the demo shown in the gif above. They can be easily defined in the settings!

• 🔍 Git Status Indicators
  Icons next to each file indicate its current Git status (e.g., modified, added, deleted).

• 🧬 Multi-Repository Support
  Works seamlessly with multiple Git repositories within the same workspace.

• 🔄 Live Updates
  Automatically refreshes when files change in one of the repositories or via a manual refresh button.

QuickStart

Just add the (absolute) path to one or multiple Git repositories in the extensions settings!

The three icons on the bottom (Committed + XXXXX) represent files that have been committed to the current branch, regardless of whether these changes have already been merged back into the default branch (master/main).
