Nested Git Tracker

A VS Code extension that automatically discovers and registers nested .git repositories so they appear in the Source Control panel — no manual setup required.

Why

VS Code's built-in Git extension only tracks the workspace root. In monorepos, multi-project folders, or workspaces with manually-managed submodules, nested repos are invisible in Source Control. This extension fixes that.

How it works

1. On workspace open, recursively scans all workspace folders for .git directories.
2. Registers each discovered repo with the built-in vscode.git extension via its public API.
3. The built-in Git extension handles everything else: commit, stage, diff, change count badges.
