Why YAGI?

VS Code's built-in Source Control view is great for a quick commit, but the moment you need to untangle history, resolve a real merge conflict, or rebase interactively, you reach for a separate app. YAGI closes that gap — it brings a full, Fork-like Git GUI into an editor tab, wired directly to your workspace.

• Stay in one window. No context switch to a separate Git client.
• Everything is native underneath. Diffs open in VS Code's own diff editor; conflicts open in its 3-way merge editor. You get YAGI's graph and workflow on top of tools you already know.
• It's just git. Every action shells out to the Git CLI you already have installed — no bundled Git, no proprietary format.

Features

📊 Commit graph

A colored-lane commit graph that stays fast on large repositories — rendering is virtualized, and history loads incrementally as you scroll ("load more" paging), so a 50,000-commit repo opens as quickly as a 50-commit one.

🔍 Commit details

Click any commit to see its full message, author, parents, and changed files — click a file to open it in VS Code's native diff editor.

✅ Staging & commit

Stage and unstage files, view diffs natively, and commit — with Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to commit without leaving the keyboard.

🔀 Merge, rebase, cherry-pick, revert

• One-click merge and rebase from the branch list.
• Cherry-pick and revert any commit from its context menu.
• A full interactive rebase UI — reorder, squash, fixup, or drop commits with drag-free up/down controls, no manual todo-file editing.
• Conflicts pause the operation with a clear banner and Continue / Skip / Abort — conflicted files open directly in VS Code's 3-way merge editor.

☁️ Remotes

Fetch, pull, and push with live ahead/behind indicators. Optionally auto-pull after any operation finishes, so your view never falls out of sync with the remote (yagi.pullAfterOperations).

🗂️ Built for your workflow

• An Activity Bar sidebar mirrors the current branch, changed files, and full branch tree — for quick actions without opening the full panel.
• Resizable, collapsible panes remembered forever, per user.
• A branch filter so repositories with 100+ branches stay navigable.
• Automatic repository discovery: open a parent folder containing several repos and YAGI finds them (or lets you pick).

Getting started

1. Install YAGI from the Marketplace.
2. Open a folder containing a Git repository.
3. Click the YAGI icon in the Activity Bar, or run YAGI: Open Git Interface from the Command Palette.

That's it — no configuration required.
