Changed Files Explorer

All your git changed files in one Explorer-like view, updated automatically — with the full right-click menu you're used to.

Features

  • Changed Files view in the Explorer, with a badge showing how many files changed.
  • Categories: Merge Changes (conflicts), Staged Changes, Changes, Untracked.
  • Since branch: also list every file changed since the merge base with a branch (e.g. main) — commits of your branch plus uncommitted work. Pick it with the branch button in the view title.
  • Flat list mode (list/tree button): each file once, with its status letters.
  • Click opens the file, like the Explorer. The diff icon (or right-click → Open Changes) shows the changes.
  • Explorer-like right-click menu: Open to the Side, Reveal in File Explorer, Reveal in Explorer View, Open in Integrated Terminal, Find in Folder, Copy Path / Copy Relative Path, Rename (F2), Delete (Del), plus Stage / Unstage / Discard Changes.
  • Multi-selection (Ctrl/Shift + click), copy the list of all changed paths, multi-root and multi-repository workspaces.

One-click deploy (optional)

Install the companion extension FTP SFTP Deploy and configure a server: a cloud button appears in the view title to deploy all changed files at once (to their relative location), with a summary first. Changed and new files are uploaded; deleted or renamed files can be removed from the server. Per category and per selection too, plus Compare with server and Delete from server.

These buttons only appear when FTP SFTP Deploy is installed and configured — Changed Files Explorer works fully on its own.

Settings

Setting Default Description
changedFiles.groupByStatus true Group files by category, or show a flat de-duplicated list
