Command Central

VS Code Marketplace Installs CI License: MIT

Know what changed in your codebase while you were away.

Command Central — Multi-workspace sidebar with custom project icons

Open a project after a day, a week, or a month — instantly see what happened. Git changes sorted by time, not alphabetically. Works for your own coding sessions and for catching up after AI agents make changes.

Install

ext install oste.command-central

Or search "Command Central" in VS Code Extensions.

Features

  • Time-grouped changes — Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days. No more scrolling git log.
  • File type filtering — Focus on code, config, docs, tests, or custom extensions.
  • Active file tracking — Current file auto-highlights in the tree view as you work.
  • Multi-root workspace support — Each workspace folder gets its own isolated git tracking view (up to 10).
  • Two layout modes — Vertical in the sidebar for deep dives, horizontal in the Panel for cross-project comparison.
  • Custom project icons — Set emoji or text icons per workspace via commandCentral.project.icon in .vscode/settings.json.
  • Deleted file persistence — Deleted files tracked with stable ordering across sessions.

537 tests. Passes CI on every commit.
