Real-time file sync between your local editor and Wigwam — access and edit your codebase from anywhere.
Features
Live file sync — edits in VS Code appear instantly in the Wigwam IDE (and vice versa) via conflict-free CRDTs
Auto-detect — connects automatically when your workspace has a git remote tracked by a running Wigwam hut
Line blame — see which session last touched each line, inline in the editor
Works with forks — compatible with VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Code OSS, and VS Code Insiders
Getting Started
Install Wigwam and run wigwam in your project directory
Install this extension
Open the same project in VS Code — the extension auto-detects and connects
That's it. Your files are now synced to the Wigwam IDE at wigwam.build/ide.

How It Works
The extension uses Yjs CRDTs to sync file contents between your local editor and the Wigwam hut running on your machine. The hut then syncs with the relay, making your files available in the browser IDE and to other connected devices.
VS Code <--Yjs--> Local Hut <--relay--> Wigwam IDE (browser)
All sync happens through your local hut — your code never leaves your machine unless you've connected to the relay.
