Radicle VS Code Extension

A VS Code extension bringing support for the Radicle network to your IDE.

Radicle is a decentralized, local-first and sovereign code forge alternative to GitHub. It's built on top of Git and operates on the free, peer-to-peer and open-source Radicle network.

NOTE: The extension currently offers a limited feature set. Deeper integration of Patches and then Issues is planned and tracked on the 🗺️ Roadmap.
