Shared Repository Recommendation
For team repositories and internal projects, keep trackingMode=local-only.
- Plugin checkpoints stay on the developer machine
- User-authored commits remain the only meaningful remote history
- Rollback still works from local file snapshots
- If you explicitly want plugin-created local Git checkpoints, switch to
full
Requirements
- Git repository (recommended for full functionality)
- VS Code: 1.107.0 or higher
- Zed: Latest version with extension support
