Git Wiz

A minimalist Git extension for Visual Studio Code.

Git Wiz is dedicated to providing the purest Git interaction experience. We believe that "Less is More," rejecting bloated interfaces, complicated settings, and cluttered toolbars.

Core Features

  • Branch Management Panel: A clean branch tree view supporting both local and remote branches with instant double-click checkout. It displays the current branch name and offers fast filtering via a search box.
  • Dynamic Commit Graph: High-performance Git history visualization rendered with pure Canvas, clearly showcasing merge relationships.
  • Enhanced Search Experience: Filter commit history by hash, author, date, and more. The graph layout simplifies automatically during searches, with smooth "scroll-to-top" interactions.
  • View Title Sync: Real-time display of the current branch information directly in the VS Code view title bar.

Interaction Design

  • Double-Click Checkout: Checkout local or remote branches instantly. Remote branches are automatically created with tracking enabled.
  • On-Demand Search: Search filters trigger only after pressing Enter or clicking the search icon, preventing flickering during input.
  • Seamless Scrolling: Automatically jumps to the top of the container after searching, with support for infinite scrolling of large repositories.

Why Git Wiz?

Most Git extensions on the market are too heavy. Git Wiz was born to fill a gap: a lightweight tool that replaces complex GUIs while offering better visualization than a raw terminal. No extra fluff—just the branches and the graph you need.
