Look Git

A modern, React-based Git extension for Visual Studio Code — featuring a visual commit graph, an enhanced changes panel with stash management, and an interactive commit history view.

Features

Changes Panel

• Staged & unstaged file list with file-type icons, status letters, and hover actions
• Inline stash creation — click the archive icon in the Changes section header to stash without leaving the panel
• Stash management — apply, pop, or drop stashes directly; expand any stash to browse its files and open diffs
• Submodule awareness — submodule entries shown with dedicated icons and status badges; unsafe actions (discard, diff) blocked automatically
• Conflict resolution — dedicated section with merge editor, Accept Ours / Accept Theirs actions per file
• Tree & list view — toggle between hierarchical folder tree and flat file list
• Keyboard navigation — ↑↓ to move between files, Enter to open diff

Commit History

• Multi-expand commits — open several commits simultaneously; each expands in-place showing its message, author, relative date, and changed files
• Inline diff — click any changed file to open a VS Code diff editor for that commit
• File tree mode — changed files shown as a navigable folder tree
• Search — filter the commit list in real time by message, author, hash, or date
• Load more — incremental pagination, 50 commits at a time

Look Graph

• SVG commit graph — colored lanes with Bezier curves for merges and forks, primary branch always on lane 0
• Branch panel — collapsible Local / Remote / Worktrees tree on the left
• WIP rows — each worktree with uncommitted changes shows a dashed-circle row above its HEAD commit with staged/unstaged/conflict counts
• Commit details panel — click any commit to see its full message, author, and changed files in a side panel
• Branch actions — checkout, push, rename, delete, rebase, merge from the branch panel
• Worktree support — add, remove, and open linked worktrees; WIP status fetched per worktree
• Filters — search by text/hash, filter by branch, author, date range, or path

Getting Started

1. Open a folder or workspace containing a Git repository in VS Code
2. Click the Look Git icon in the Activity Bar to access the Changes and Commit History panels
