git add with git add
To perform git add in VSCode, you need to type git stage changes in the command palette.
This is a VSCode extension that provides git add commands accessible from the Command Palette by typing git add.
Additionally, from the context menu in the Explorer, you can perform actions such as git add, git add -u, and git restore --staged (unstage).
Operations from the command palette
Type git add from the command palette and select the suggested git add: File in Active Editor to git add the currently active file.
Similarly, typing git add and selecting the suggested git add: Selected Lines or Cursor Line will git add the selected range or the line at the cursor position.
git add -u is also supported.
Usage
- open command palette
- mac:
cmd + shift + p
- windows:
ctrl + shift + p
- Type
git add from the command palette and select the suggested git add: File in Active Editor
- If you type
git add -u, git add: -u (Update Tracked Files) will be suggested.
- Execute the suggested command.
Command and to be executed
git add: File in Active Editor:
The file in the active window is staged using git add.
git add: Selected Lines or Cursor Line:
The selected lines in the active window are staged as if using the interactive mode of git add, achieved via git apply --cached.
git add: -u (Update Tracked Files):
Files with changes that are being tracked by git are staged using git add, meaning git add -u is executed.
The following commands can be executed for files and folders from the context menu in Explorer.
git addgit add -ugit restore --stagedgit restore
If you have selected multiple files, open the context menu on the selected items.
Please note that if you open the context menu from the blank area at the bottom of Explorer, the entire workspace folder will be the target.
The following commands can be executed from the context menu in the text editor:
git add: File in Active Editorgit add: Selected Lines or Cursor Linegit restore --stagedgit restore
Displaying Git Tracking Status in the Status Bar
You can display the Git tracking status and file path of the currently active file in the status bar.
VSCode's Explorer displays a file with the M (modified) indicator whether only part of the file is staged or all changes are staged, making it unclear what the actual state is. This feature was implemented to address that issue. (Of course, this is unnecessary for those who frequently use VSCode's built-in "Source Control" view.)
- Open "Settings"
- Go to "Settings" → "Extensions" → "git add with git add" → "Show File Status in Status Bar"
- Alternatively, search for
git-add-with-git-add.showFileStatusInStatusBar in the settings search bar.
- Choose either
Display as a status message or Always display as a status bar item.
If you choose Always display as a status bar item, the status will persist in the status bar. If you choose Display as a status message, it is displayed as a simple status bar message, so it may be overwritten by other messages.
You can specify the display format in the "File Status Display Format" setting. To search for the configuration, look for git-add-with-git-add.fileStatusFormat.
The default format is ${git_short_stat} : ${rel_path}.
Below are the available placeholders and their descriptions:
| Placeholder |
Description |
${abs_path} |
Absolute file path |
${rel_path} |
Relative path from the workspace folder |
${file} |
File name |
${git_stat} |
Long style status notation such as Added, Modified, Modified+Added |
${git_short_stat} |
Short style status notation such as A, M, M+A |
Important Notes
The Git command results provided by "git add with git add" are reflected immediately. However, if changes to the tracking status are made by other means, there may be a slight delay in updates. By default, updates can be delayed by up to 3 seconds.
If you want faster updates, you can shorten the git status polling interval(second) in the settings. Although it is possible to set the interval to less than 1 second, for performance reasons, the minimum interval is internally limited to 0.3 seconds.
Motivation
git add should be able to run with git add.
Requirement
Git must be installed and available in the system PATH.
