Synivo Git Manager for Visual Studio Code

Unified Git repository control center for Visual Studio Code. Inspect Pull Requests, CI/CD pipelines, Releases, Wiki & Docs, and Branches & Tags directly inside the editor without duplicating native VS Code source control.

Features

Direct Browser Navigation for Repositories: Clicking any repository in the Repositories sidebar immediately opens it in your default web browser and switches the active workspace repository context.
Rich Editor Detail Inspectors: Clicking any item across Pull Requests, CI/CD Pipelines, Releases, Wiki & Docs, and Branches & Tags opens a rich, native VS Code styled detail inspector in the editor window.
No Duplicate SCM Features: Avoids doubling up on built-in native VS Code source control (such as local staging, committing, or native commit graph) and instead focuses 100% on missing forge capabilities (Gitea, GitHub, GitLab).
Universal Forge Support: Works seamlessly out of the box with self-hosted Gitea / Forgejo (git.synivo.com.au), GitHub, GitLab, and custom internal forges.
Pull Requests: Inspect branch flow (source -> target), review states, CI check runs, discussion comment counts, and full GitHub-Flavored Markdown descriptions with one-click branch checkout.
CI/CD Pipelines: Real-time workflow run monitoring with status badges, triggering commit details, workflow duration, actor metadata, and direct deep links to web build logs.
Releases: Browse published release versions, tags, changelog notes rendered in Markdown, and downloadable release binary assets with file sizes and download counts.
Wiki & Docs: Read remote repository documentation and wiki pages directly in VS Code with rich Markdown rendering and quick web edit shortcuts.
Branches and Tags: Track remote branches and tags with commit references, default and protected branch badges, and quick checkout actions.
Native VS Code Theme Integration: 100% theme-adaptive using native VS Code tokens (--vscode-*), icons, and clean typographic hierarchy. Zero CSS drift.
Quick Jump Command Palette: Press Cmd+Shift+G (or Ctrl+Shift+G) to fuzzy-search across all PRs, pipelines, releases, wiki, branches, and repositories.

{
  "gitManager.customHosts": [
    {
      "domain": "git.example.com",
      "provider": "gitea"
    },
    {
      "domain": "gitlab.internal.corp",
      "provider": "gitlab"
    }
  ]
}

Access Tokens

Git Manager automatically resolves credentials from your system Git credential helper, VS Code authentication providers, or environment variables (GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_TOKEN, GITEA_TOKEN).
