Canopy — Multi-Repo Worktree Manager

A single sidebar for every feature lane, worktree, and per-repo diff in a multi-repo workspace.

Canopy coordinates real Git branches and worktrees across multiple repositories — no proprietary abstractions, no virtual branches. This extension gives you a VSCode-native UI on top of the Canopy CLI + MCP server.

Features

Feature lanes, worktrees, and per-repo changes — one sidebar

The activity-bar entry gives you four collapsible sections backed by the same MCP tools the Canopy CLI uses. Features show live ahead/behind counts, worktrees show the max_worktrees budget, Changes reflects M/A/D/? status per repo, and Review Readiness is a traffic light per lane.

Per-feature dashboard with Linear + GitHub context

Click any feature to open a webview showing branch state across every repo, linked Linear issue, open PRs, pre-commit status, cross-repo file overlap warnings, and recent commits interleaved across all worktrees.

Linear-aware Create Feature quick pick

Cmd+Shift+P → Canopy: Create Feature. The picker auto-suggests lane names from your assigned Linear issues and creates matching branches + worktrees across the repos you select.

Install

1. Install the extension from the VSCode Marketplace.
2. Open a folder containing a canopy.toml file.
3. If the sidebar offers Install Canopy for me, click it — the extension sets up a managed venv at ~/.canopy-vscode/venv and installs the Canopy backend. Otherwise pipx install canopy from a terminal also works.

That's it. The extension spawns one canopy-mcp process per workspace and routes every UI action through its 30+ tools.
