Changes Counter

A VS Code extension that counts the number of changes between your git working tree and a comparison branch. Also, it warns you when you exceed a changes quantity threshold, helping you control the size of your pull requests and making them more easy to review.

For the extension to work, you must open a folder in your workspace that have git initialized.

If the extension isn't working, check the Changes Counter output channel in the panel for more info.
