Stage Mirror

Stage Mirror adds Restore Working Tree from HEAD to the right-click menu in VS Code Source Control.

It restores the selected file content in the Working Tree from HEAD without changing the staged version.

This is useful when you want to keep your staged changes exactly as they are, but reset the Working Tree copy.

How it works

Stage Mirror runs:

git -C <repository-root> restore --source=HEAD --worktree -- <file-path>

It uses --worktree only and does not use --staged, so the Git index remains unchanged.

Suppose line B was deleted and the deletion was staged.

Before:

HEAD:
line A
line B

Stage:
line A

Working Tree:
line A

After running Restore Working Tree from HEAD:

HEAD:
line A
line B

Stage:
line A

Working Tree:
line A
line B

The deletion is still staged. Only the Working Tree file is restored.

Setting	Default	Description
`stageMirror.confirmBeforeRestore`	`true`	Ask for confirmation before replacing Working Tree changes.
`stageMirror.showSuccessNotification`	`true`	Show a notification after a successful restore.

Errors are displayed in a notification and written to the Stage Mirror output channel.

npm install
npm run compile
npm run lint

Requires Git 2.23 or later.
Newly added files that do not exist in HEAD cannot be restored from HEAD.
Very large selections may exceed the operating system command-length limit.
Virtual file systems are not supported.
Git errors such as missing HEAD, permission problems, locked files, conflicts, or unsafe repository ownership are shown to the user.
