VS Code Open In Git Tower Button Extension

License: MIT CI Visual Studio Marketplace Version

Open the current repository in the Tower Git client via a button in the VS Code status bar.

Getting started

Let's assume you have VS Code and Tower installed.

Install the extension from the Marketplace, or run the following in VS Code's command palette:

ext install kitschpatrol.open-in-git-tower-button

After which you should see a new icon in your status bar:

open-in-git-tower-button banner

Due to a lack of an ideal codicon, the solid "filter" icon will have to suffice with its tower-approximating silhouette.

Acknowledgments

This trivial extension layers over Fabio Spampinato's Open in GitTower, which does the heavy lifting of actually opening things in Tower.

Anthony Fu's VS Code Open in GitHub Button extension provided a basic template for the approach.

Contributing

Issues are welcome and appreciated.

Please open an issue to discuss changes before submitting a pull request. Unsolicited PRs (especially AI-generated ones) are unlikely to be merged.

This repository uses @kitschpatrol/shared-config (via its ksc CLI) for linting and formatting, plus MDAT for readme placeholder expansion.
