Speedy Git Extension

A performance-first Git visualization extension for VS Code, built for large repositories.

Overview

Speedy Git Extension provides an interactive Git history graph with a core goal: extremely fast performance even for repositories with tens of thousands of commits. It achieves this through virtual scrolling, a modular backend, and optimized Git command execution — so the UI stays responsive no matter how large your repo grows.
