Direct Repository Sync

VS Code / Cursor extension that adds Sync all for every eligible Git repository in the workspace: one action in the Source Control → CHANGES header, then fetches and synchronizes changed repositories according to your settings.

Requires the built-in Git extension (vscode.git) and VS Code ^1.85 (see engines in package.json).

Where is the button?

• Menu: scm/title, group navigation
• Visibility: when: view == workbench.scm so the control appears on the CHANGES view title bar only (same idea as the built-in tree/list toggles), not duplicated on each repository row for this command.

Native Git icons on each repo row (sync, pull, push, etc.) are not from this extension; you can hide those separately via the toolbar context menu or Git-related settings.

Behavior

1. Uses the Git extension API only (repo.fetch(), repo.pull(), repo.push()), not git.* palette commands, so you should not get a “Choose a repository” picker from this flow.
2. Optionally skips dirty repos and always skips repositories without an upstream branch (default: skip dirty = on).
3. Fetches and synchronizes each remaining repository in the same bounded parallel queue. A repository starts its pull or push as soon as its fetch finishes; it does not wait for the slowest repository's fetch.
4. Writes a full log to Output → “Sync All Repositories” ([OK] / [FAIL] per path, including duration).

Features

• Single Sync all entry next to other CHANGES actions (Codicon repo-sync on the command).
• Configurable parallelism and filters (see below).
• Extension icon: media/icon.png — 128×128 PNG (square) recommended; referenced from package.json → "icon".

Usage

1. Open Source Control (CHANGES).
2. Click Sync all in the header toolbar, or run the command Git: Sync All Repositories from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P).

Settings

Development

cd sync-all-repos
npm install
npm run compile

Use Run → Start Debugging to try the extension in a new Extension Development Host window.

Packaging (VSIX)

cd sync-all-repos
npm install
npm run compile
npx vsce package

Install the generated .vsix in Cursor/VS Code: Extensions → … → Install from VSIX….

Notes

• Some repos may fail (conflicts, auth, missing remotes, etc.). Failures are listed in Output → Sync All Repositories; other repos still run.
• If repo.fetch / repo.pull / repo.push are not exposed by the Git API in your environment, the sync will error; check the Output channel for messages.
