Gitgg: Simplified Git Branch Comparison

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 file comparison experience, directly inside VS Code.

With just a couple of clicks, you can select one or more files and instantly diff them against any local branch in your repository.

✨ Features

  • 🔎 Flexible File Comparison: Instantly compare a single file or a selection of multiple files against any branch. The extension handles it all seamlessly.

  • 🌳 "Working Tree" Awareness: When comparing a file against its own branch, Gitgg intelligently detects uncommitted changes 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 or on the editor tab. For even faster access, use the Shift + \ keyboard shortcut.
