Git Scope

A clean-room reimplementation of the Git Graph concept, rebuilt from scratch with modern improvements. Not derived from the original source code.

A VS Code / Cursor extension that visualizes your commit graph and lets you run git actions directly from it.

Usage

Click Git Scope in the left side of the status bar, or use Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) → Git Scope: View Git Graph.

Commit graph: branch lanes & colors, local/remote/tag badges (combined branch | origin badges), HEAD indicator, incremental loading on scroll, line highlighting on hover/click
Commit details: inline expansion below the row, changed files as an icon-themed tree or flat list with (+added | -removed) line stats, click to open diffs, commit comparison via Ctrl/Cmd+click
Actions: checkout (double-click a badge to git switch), create/delete/rename branches, merge, rebase, cherry-pick, revert, drop, tag, stash, push/pull — destructive actions always require confirmation
Enhanced git reset: choose --soft / --mixed / --hard with a commit target or HEAD~N, plus an "undo this commit" shortcut
Worktree management: list/add/remove/move/lock worktrees, worktree badges on the graph, open in a new or current window
Glob search & filters: instant glob patterns (feature/*, release-[0-9]*) for commit search and branch filtering
fetch --prune: clean up deleted remote branch references right from the fetch button
Avatars: GitHub profile pictures (with disk cache and GitHub sign-in support), Gravatar fallback, and AI co-author icons for Co-authored-by trailers
Auto-refresh: the graph follows any .git change — actions in the app or commands in your terminal

npm install
npm run build      # host (esbuild) + webview (vite)
npm run check      # typecheck + lint + tests
