DocSync

Sync docs across machines using a GitHub repo as the storage backend. Browse, push, pull, move, and delete docs right from the VSCode Explorer sidebar.

Features

• DOCSYNC tree view in the Explorer sidebar — browse your remote docs with folder structure and file sizes
• Click to view — open any remote doc in an editor tab
• Push files — right-click a local .md file → "Push to DocSync", or drag files into the DOCSYNC tree
• Move files — drag and drop within the DOCSYNC tree, or right-click → "Move to..."
• Delete files/folders — right-click → "Delete" with confirmation
• New folder — create folders from the toolbar or right-click menu
• Drag to Copilot Chat — drag docs from the DOCSYNC tree directly into GitHub Copilot Chat to add them as context
• Sync on load — files are synced to disk automatically so they're always ready

Getting Started

1. Install the extension
2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) → "DocSync: Initialize"
3. Enter your GitHub repo (e.g. myuser/my-docs), branch, and a Personal Access Token
4. The DOCSYNC section appears in the Explorer sidebar with your docs

How It Works

DocSync uses a GitHub repo as central storage. Push docs from any machine, pull them on any other machine. Version history comes for free from git.

The extension uses the docsync CLI under the hood, supporting both GitHub REST API and git CLI transports with automatic proxy detection.

Configuration

Config is stored at ~/.docsync/config.json. You can also set up via the CLI:

npm install -g docsync-cli
docsync init
