commitDNA

commitDNA is a simple Visual Studio Code extension that helps you check your Git username and email before you push your code.

Sometimes we accidentally commit using the wrong Git username or email. If those commits are pushed to the remote repository, fixing them later can be difficult and time-consuming.

CommitDNA shows your Git username, email, branch, and commit details after every commit, so you can quickly verify everything is correct before pushing your changes.

✨ Features

• 🪪 Displays the configured Git author and email after every commit.
• 🌿 Shows the current branch.
• 🔖 Displays the latest commit hash.
• 📂 Shows the current repository.
• 📋 Copy the latest commit hash with a single click.
• 📁 Open the repository directly from the review panel.
• 🚀 Lightweight and runs locally.
• 🔒 No telemetry or external network requests.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install commitDNA from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Open any Git repository.
3. Make a commit using Visual Studio Code.
4. commitDNA automatically displays your Git identity and commit details.
5. Click Review to open the detailed commit review panel.

📋 Commit Review

commitDNA displays:

• Repository Name
• Git Author
• Git Email
• Current Branch
• Commit Hash

This helps ensure commits are created with the correct Git identity before they are pushed to a remote repository.

🔒 Privacy

commitDNA is designed to run entirely on your local machine.

• No telemetry
• No analytics
• No external API calls
• No collection or transmission of your Git data

commitDNA does not intentionally send your repository information, commit hashes, author name, email address, or any other Git metadata to external servers. All processing is performed locally within Visual Studio Code.

commitDNA is an open-source project. You are encouraged to review the source code, report security concerns, and verify how the extension works. Any future changes that affect privacy or data handling will be clearly documented in the release notes.
