How it works

Git Reminder runs in the background and monitors the git repositories of your workspace.

Every two minutes, it checks if there any uncommitted changes or unpushed commits that have been sitting around for more than 30 minutes. If it finds any, it will notify you.

You can customize the interval, timespan, and notification type in the extension settings.

Motivation

I created Git Reminder after losing a whole day's work because I accidentaly ran the git reset --hard command that was in my history. That could have easily been avoided had I committed and pushed my changes. I wanted a simple way to remind myself to commit and push my changes at regular intervals.
