A clean and intuitive Visual Studio Code extension that displays the current project's Git configuration details directly in your Activity Bar.
Features
Active Branch: Displays the name of the branch you are currently working on.
Remote URL: Shows the origin fetch URL. Click to open it directly in your web browser (supports automatic SSH to HTTPS conversion for GitHub/GitLab).
User Name: Displays the local or global user.name configured for Git. Click to copy.
User Email: Displays the local or global user.email configured for Git. Click to copy.
Live Reactivity & Manual Refresh: Automatically updates whenever you switch branches or make changes, with a manual refresh button available in the view toolbar.
Requirements
This extension relies on the built-in VS Code Git extension (vscode.git) to fetch repository states and local configs safely. Ensure Git is installed and initialized in your workspace.
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings/views:
gitDetailsView: The sidebar view container where all the Git metadata is neatly listed.
git-config-info.refreshGitDetails: A toolbar navigation command to force a manual refresh of the data.
Known Issues
If your workspace does not contain a valid Git repository, the sidebar will gracefully display a warning item instead of breaking.
