GitSavvy for VS Code

An adaptation of GitSavvy (Sublime Text) to Visual Studio Code. Keyboard-driven git integration with a plain-text status dashboard.

Features

Status Dashboard — opens as an editor tab showing your repo's staged, unstaged, and untracked files in a Sublime GitSavvy-style layout:

BRANCH: main
HEAD:   abc1234 Fix the thing

## staged files

   M src/app.ts
   A src/utils.ts

## unstaged files

   M src/index.ts

## untracked files

   ? README.md
   ? .gitignore

─────────────────────────────────
s: stage  u: unstage  d: diff  Enter: open  r: refresh

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key	Action
`j` / `k` / arrows	Navigate files
`s`	Stage file
`u`	Unstage file
`d`	Open VS Code diff
`Enter`	Open file
`Tab`	Cycle between sections
`r`	Refresh status

Auto-refresh

The dashboard automatically updates when the git index changes — staging or unstaging files from the terminal, other extensions, or any other tool is reflected immediately.

Usage

Open a git repository in VS Code
Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
Run "GitSavvy: Open Status Dashboard"

Architecture

Vanilla WebView — plain HTML/CSS/JS, no framework. Uses VS Code CSS variables for native theming.
Git CLI — all git operations via child_process.spawn (same approach as the original GitSavvy).
Webview Panel — the dashboard opens via vscode.window.createWebviewPanel, and can be revealed/reopened as a panel-based view.
