A smart Git pull utility extension for VS Code and Antigravity IDE that enables users to select remote or local branches to pull and rebase, with automatic workspace stashing and popping logic to ensure safe conflicts resolution.
Features
Fetch & Pick Branch: Fetches all branches and shows a quick-select prompt in the sidebar.
Pull Strategies:
Standard Pull: Runs standard git pull.
Pull with Rebase: Rebases your local commits cleanly on top of the target branch.
Stash → Rebase → Pop: Safely stashes uncommitted local changes, pulls with rebase, and pops the stash automatically. Recommended for safe conflicts resolution!
Logging: Detailed execution logs output to the dedicated GenVPuller output channel and in the sidebar console.
