Git Pull Status

Turns the VS Code status bar red when your current branch is behind its upstream — i.e. there are commits to pull.

Features

  • Periodically runs git fetch and checks HEAD..@{u} across every folder in your workspace.
  • Status bar item shows ↓ N pending pulls with an error-red background when behind, or ✓ up to date otherwise.
  • Click the status bar item to run git pull directly.

Settings

Setting Default Description
gitPullStatus.intervalSeconds 180 How often to check, in seconds.
