Auto Git Sync VS Code Extension

This extension automatically detects file changes in your workspace. If there are no further changes for 5 minutes, it will automatically commit and push the changes to your remote Git repository.

How it Works

The extension listens for file save events. Each time you save a file, a 5-minute timer is reset. If the timer completes without any other file saves, the extension will execute the following Git commands:

git add .
git commit -m "Auto-sync: file changes"
git push

Prerequisites

• You must have Git installed and configured on your system.
• Your workspace must be a Git repository, and it must have a remote origin configured.
• You must be authenticated to push to the remote repository.

Installation

1. Copy the files from this project into a new folder.
2. Open the folder in VS Code.
3. Run npm install in the terminal to install the dependencies.
4. Press F5 to open a new Extension Development Host window that runs the extension.
5. Open a workspace that is a Git repository.
6. Make some changes to a file and save it. You should see a message in the console indicating the timer has started. After 5 minutes of inactivity, your changes will be pushed.
