Open repository in SmartGit

Open repository in SmartGit is a VS Code-compatible extension that adds an Explorer context menu action for opening the selected Git repository in SmartGit.

It adds an Explorer context menu command:

SmartGit: Open repository in SmartGit

Features

• Right-click a folder and open the nearest parent Git repository in SmartGit.
• Right-click a file and open the nearest parent Git repository from its containing folder.
• If no Git repository is found, optionally open the selected folder directly in SmartGit.
• Works on Windows and macOS.

Platform Defaults

When smartgitFolderOpener.executablePath is empty, the extension uses these defaults:

If SmartGit is installed somewhere else, set smartgitFolderOpener.executablePath manually.

Examples:

{
  "smartgitFolderOpener.executablePath": "D:\\Apps\\SmartGit\\bin\\smartgit.exe"
}

{
  "smartgitFolderOpener.executablePath": "/Applications/SmartGit.app"
}

Settings

{
  "smartgitFolderOpener.executablePath": "",
  "smartgitFolderOpener.openSelectedFolderWhenNoGitRoot": true
}

• smartgitFolderOpener.executablePath: Optional SmartGit executable path. Leave it empty to use the platform default.
• smartgitFolderOpener.openSelectedFolderWhenNoGitRoot: When enabled, the selected folder is opened even if no Git root is found.

Build

From the cloned extension repository, run:

npx --yes @vscode/vsce package

The command generates a .vsix package, for example:

smartgit-folder-opener-0.0.6.vsix

Install Locally

Install into Antigravity:

antigravity --install-extension .\smartgit-folder-opener-0.0.6.vsix --force

Install into VS Code:

code --install-extension .\smartgit-folder-opener-0.0.6.vsix --force

Install into Cursor:

cursor --install-extension .\smartgit-folder-opener-0.0.6.vsix --force

On macOS, use the same commands from a shell where the target editor command is available.

Notes

• The extension checks for .git folders and Git worktree .git files.
• The selected path must exist on disk.
• On macOS, leaving the executable path empty is usually the most portable option because open -a SmartGit lets macOS locate the app.
