Dirt Manager 🚀

Real-time collaboration awareness for Git repositories

Prevent merge conflicts by seeing who's editing files and recent branch activity right in your VS Code editor.

✨ Features

🔴 Live Editing Awareness

• See who is currently editing files with unsaved changes
• Real-time presence detection across your team
• Immediate warnings when multiple people work on the same file

⚠️ Recent Branch Activity

• Shows recent commits on files (last 2 weeks)
• Detects open PRs and branch activity
• Smart filtering to avoid noise from old/merged branches

🎨 Professional Warnings

• Native VS Code styling with theme-aware colors
• Clean, non-intrusive warnings at the top of files
• PR numbers and branch information included

📸 Screenshot

When opening a file, you'll see warnings like:

$(error) Currently edited by Sarah Wilson@feature-branch (PR [#123](https://github.com/ofershap/dirt-manager/issues/123))
$(warning) Recent activity on bugfix-login (PR [#456](https://github.com/ofershap/dirt-manager/issues/456)) by John Doe - 3 days ago

🚀 Getting Started

Zero Configuration

The extension works out of the box with smart defaults:

• Auto-detects your Git user information
• Uses the public Dirt Manager server
• No manual setup required

Team Setup

For full team coverage, have everyone install the extension. The more team members using it, the better the conflict prevention!

⚙️ Configuration

All settings are optional:

• dirtManager.apiBaseUrl: Custom server URL (optional)
• dirtManager.readToken: Read token for private servers (optional)
• dirtManager.writeToken: Write token for private servers (optional)

🔧 How It Works

1. Real-time tracking: Extension reports when you save files with changes
2. Smart detection: Combines live presence with Git commit history
3. Conflict prevention: Warns you before conflicts happen

🛡️ Privacy

• Only tracks files you explicitly save with changes
• Uses hashed user IDs for privacy
• No code content is ever transmitted
