GoLand Version Control

GoLand Version Control is a VS Code extension that adds a GoLand-inspired local changes workflow for Git repositories.

Current stable version: 0.2.8.

Features

• Dedicated Activity Bar view with no built-in Git commit box clutter
• Repository and changelist grouping with flat relative file paths
• Colored Git status badges for unstaged, staged, untracked, deleted, renamed, and conflicted files
• Fast cached repo discovery with targeted refresh when files are saved or Git metadata changes; Shelf and Stash refresh separately from Local Changes
• Staged, unstaged, unversioned, renamed, deleted, and conflicted file states
• Native VS Code side-by-side diff editor integration with first-change navigation
• Stage, unstage, inline shelve, inline stash selected, inline revert, multi-file discard, open file, open diff, refresh, and change navigation commands
• Selected Changes panel appears for same-repository multi-file selections with stage, unstage, shelve, stash, and discard toolbar actions
• Workspace-backed custom changelists for organizing local work without changing Git metadata
• Repository-grouped extension-managed Shelf view for saving patch sets separately from Git metadata
• Repository-grouped native Git Stash view with lazy file loading for creating, applying, popping, dropping, and reviewing stashes

Usage

1. Open a folder or workspace containing one or more Git repositories.
2. Open GoLand Version Control from the Activity Bar.
3. Expand Local Changes.
4. Select changed files to open diffs, or use inline/context actions to stage, unstage, discard, or move files to changelists.
5. Use Shelf for IDE-managed patch shelves and Stash for native Git stashes.

Notes

• This extension is GoLand-inspired and is not affiliated with JetBrains.
• VS Code's native diff editor is used intentionally for stable editing and staging behavior.
• VS Code Web is not targeted because the extension uses the local Git binary.
