vscode-gitui

A VSCode extension to open GitUI and Lazygit in an integrated terminal.

Installation

[!IMPORTANT] Requires GitUI or Lazygit to be installed and available on your PATH.

There are 2 ways to install this extension:

1. Install from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace
2. Download VSIX file from GitHub Releases

Commands

• vscode-gitui.open : Open GitUI/Lazygit in terminal
• vscode-gitui.reload : Reload GitUI/Lazygit on PATH

[!WARNING] When running vscode-gitui.open in a Python environment, the extension temporarily sets the python.terminal.activateEnvironment setting to false at the workspace level for better user experience. After execution, the settings is automatically restored to its original value. (If the setting is already false, this step is skipped.)
