🚀 Git Workflow Assistant

Git Workflow Assistant is a powerful VS Code extension that helps developers execute common and advanced Git commands with one click, directly inside Visual Studio Code. It provides a visual Git Tree View for branches, commits, remotes, stash, and tags — making Git easier, faster, and more visual.

This extension is ideal for students, beginners, and professionals who want to simplify their Git workflow without using the terminal manually.

✨ Features

🔹 One-Click Git Commands

Run frequently used Git commands directly from the sidebar:

Category	Commands
Repository	`git status`, `git log`, `git init`
Branches	`git checkout -b`, `git checkout`, `git branch -d`
Commits	`git commit`, `git add -A && commit`, `git commit --amend`
Remote	`git pull`, `git push`, `git fetch`, `git remote add`
Stash	`git stash`, `git stash pop`, `git stash list`
Tags	`git tag`, `git tag -d`, `git push --tags`

Visual Git operations inside the Explorer panel:

Repository – Status, Log, View Changes
Branches – Create, Switch, Delete branches
Commits – Commit staged, Commit all, Amend
Remote – Pull, Push, Fetch, Setup Remote
Stash – Stash, Pop, List
Tags – Create, Delete, Push tags

⚡ Key Benefits
