gitex-flow

gitex-vscode is the official gitex-flow extension for visual studio code.

Usage

The use of gitex-vscode is very simple and intuitive. In the source control tab of visual studio code a new menu GITEX-FLOW appears after the installation. This menu lists the five git flow branch types, each offering two operations "start" (play button) and "finish" (stop button). In addition, the menu provides an initialization option (plug) in the header to set up git flow in the current repository. For all operations, you are guided through the standardized menu navigation of visual studio code.

Configuration

To configure gitex flow, the standard gitex configuration file can be used. To do this, simply create a corresponding .gitex[.json] file in the root directory of your project and specify the desired settings there.

Usage tips

The gitex-flow extension harmonizes perfectly with the following other extensions:

1. Conventional Commits
2. Git Graph

For example, my visual studio code looks like this:

Acknowledgements

A special thanks to the developer of the visual studio extension Gitflow Actions Sidebar named ardisaurus. His project has provided the template of gitex-vscode in many points. But a fork of the project was not reasonable because of the big adaptations.
