Automatically restart the integrated terminal when the Git branch changes.
Features
This extension monitors your Git branch status and automatically restarts the integrated terminal whenever you switch branches. This is useful for keeping your terminal context fresh and avoiding confusion when working with multiple branches.
Auto-Restart: Automatically kills existing terminals and starts a new one with the current branch name when the branch changes.
Git Integration: Uses VS Code's built-in Git extension for reliable branch detection.
Fallback Mechanism: Falls back to watching .git/HEAD if the Git extension is not available.
Customizable: Configure terminal name prefix, initial commands, and more.
