DeltaScope

DeltaScope De DeltaScope is a lightweight and intuitive VS Code extension that automatically shows Git diffs beside the editor when you save a file — no clicks, no shortcuts, just code → save → see changes.

Built with ❤️ by avs.ai


✨ Features

  • 💾 Auto-triggered Git diffs on file save
  • 🔁 Max 3 diffs open at a time (auto-closes oldest)
  • 🧠 Prevents duplicate diff tabs for the same file
  • 🚀 Opens side-by-side using native VS Code diff viewer
  • 🧹 Temp file cleanup via tmp (no junk left behind)

🚀 How It Works

Just open any Git-tracked file, make a change, and hit Save.
DeltaScope will:

  1. Grab the last committed version from Git
  2. Create a temporary file
  3. Open a side-by-side diff showing the before & after
