Why Branch Notes?

When you're juggling multiple branches, you're also juggling different contexts, to-do lists, and ideas. Branch Notes saves you from mental clutter by linking a dedicated note file to each branch. Switch a branch, and your notes for that branch instantly appear right beside your code.

Features

  • ✅ Automatic Note Switching: Opens the correct note file when you check out a new branch.
  • ✅ On-the-Fly Creation: If a note for a branch doesn't exist, it's created for you instantly.
  • ✅ Sidebar View: Get a clear overview of all branch notes in your project right from the Activity Bar.
  • ✅ Customizable Storage: Store all your notes in a central directory of your choice.

Getting Started

  1. Install the Branch Notes extension.
  2. Open a project that uses Git.
  3. Hit the command Branch Notes: Open Note For Current Branch
  4. That's it! A new note file will open in a side panel for each branch, ready for your ideas.

Extension Settings

You can configure a custom storage path for your notes in your VS Code settings. If not set, notes will be stored in a .vscode-branch-notes folder in your home directory.

  • branchNotes.storagePath: The absolute path to the directory where all branch notes will be stored.
{
  "branchNotes.storagePath": "/Users/your-name/Documents/MyGitNotes"
}
