Tired of complex commands just to see the difference between file versions on other branches? Gitgg is your essential tool for a quick and intuitive comparison experience, directly inside VS Code.
With just a couple of clicks, you can select files—or even entire folders—and instantly diff them against any local branch in your repository.
✨ Features
🔎 Flexible Comparison: Instantly compare a single file, multiple files, or entire folders against any branch. The extension handles it all seamlessly.
🧠 Smart Workflow: To optimize your experience, Gitgg only asks for your preference (separate tabs vs. single view) when comparing a small number of files (2-5). For larger comparisons, it automatically opens the powerful single view report to prevent workspace clutter.
🌳 "Working Tree" Awareness: When comparing against the current branch, Gitgg intelligently detects uncommitted changes (including deletions) and labels your version as the (Working Tree), so you always know what you're looking at.
🚀 Quick & Easy Access: No need to leave your editor. Access the compare feature directly from the right-click context menu in the File Explorer. For even faster access, use the unified Shift + \ keyboard shortcut for any context.
📊 Modern Multi-File Report: When comparing multiple files or folders, Gitgg presents a clean Webview report with a high-level summary and categorized file lists (Added, Changed, Deleted), making it easy to review large changes at a glance.
