✨ Features

🔄 Pull with Auto-Stash

One-click pull that automatically handles your local changes. A Pull with Stash button is injected into the Git Changes window toolbar, right next to the native Pull button. When clicked, it:

Checks for local changes via git status
Automatically stashes them if any exist (git stash push)
Runs git pull (optionally with --rebase)
Restores the stash (git stash pop)

No more "Cannot pull with uncommitted changes" errors — perfect for quickly syncing without interrupting your workflow.

⏱️ Auto-Fetch

Periodically runs git fetch --all --prune in the background at a configurable interval. Stay up-to-date with remote changes without lifting a finger. The auto-fetch interval badge is displayed on the Fetch button tooltip.

⚙️ Configurable Options

All options are accessible via Tools → Options → Git +:

Category	Option	Default	Description
General	Timeout (seconds)	30	Timeout for git operations
General	Git File Path	(system PATH)	Custom path to `git.exe`
Auto Fetch	Enable Auto Fetch	✅ On	Toggle background auto-fetch
Auto Fetch	Fetch Interval (minutes)	5	Minutes between auto-fetch calls
Pull	Use Rebase on Pull	✅ On	Use `--rebase` instead of merge
Logging	Log Level	Information	Output verbosity in the Git + pane

🌐 Localization

The extension UI is localized in English and Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans).

Build

dotnet build GitPlus.slnx

Run Tests

dotnet test GitPlus.slnx

Debug (F5)
