Gitpanda is a VS Code extension that enhances your Git branch workflow and helps keep repositories clean and easy to manage.
Features
One-click branch name copy
Delete the current branch with one click
Safely delete all merged local branches
Gitpanda never deletes main, master, or develop. (Pushing important work to origin before cleanup is recommended.)
One-click “ship all”
Stages all changes, commits them with your message, and pushes to origin.
Useful branch insights
View branch status and last commit information.
Commands
All commands are available via the status bar button or the Command Palette:
gitpanda.copy — Copy the current branch name
gitpanda.deleteCurrentBranch — Delete the current branch and switch to the previous one
gitpanda.deleteMergedBranches — Safely delete all merged local branches (excluding protected branches)
gitpanda.shipAll — Stage, commit, and push all changes
gitpanda.branchInfo — Show current branch status and last commit info
Your workspace has to have a git repository initialized to use this extension.
