Git Counts

See staged and unstaged Git file counts separately in the VS Code status bar. Click either count to open the corresponding built-in Source Control group.

Features

• Shows separate Staged and Changes counts in the status bar.
• Opens Source Control, collapses other groups, and expands the selected group.
• Updates automatically when the built-in Git extension reports a status change.
• Selects the repository from the active editor or the most recently selected SCM repository.
• Supports multi-root workspaces without running additional Git commands.

Usage

• Click Staged to open Source Control and expand Staged Changes.
• Click Changes to open Source Control and expand Changes.
• Run either Git Counts command from the Command Palette if you prefer keyboard navigation.

Counts match the resource groups exposed by VS Code's built-in Git extension. A file with both staged and unstaged edits appears in both counts, just as it does in Source Control.

Repository Selection

Git Counts uses the repository that contains the active editor. If no active editor belongs to a repository, it uses the most recently selected SCM repository, then the current or only repository as a fallback.

Commands

Requirements and Compatibility

• VS Code 1.125.0 or later.
• VS Code's built-in Git extension must be enabled.
• A local Git repository must be open in the workspace.

Precise group navigation relies on built-in SCM navigation commands that are not part of the public extension API. Git Counts checks that the required commands exist before navigating and displays a clear message when the current VS Code version is incompatible.

Privacy

Git Counts collects no telemetry, sends no repository information, and makes no network requests. It reads Git state through the built-in Git extension and never modifies repositories or Git configuration.

Support

Use the Q & A section on the Git Counts Marketplace page for troubleshooting and support. The extension package also includes SUPPORT.md with the information to provide when requesting help.
