• Detect GitCode repositories from VS Code git remotes.
• Override repository detection with an explicit owner/repo setting.
• Browse pull requests by repository.
• Browse issues by repository.
• Open pull request and issue overview webviews.
• Open pull request files from the tree.
• Toggle pull request files between tree and flat layouts.
• View pull request patch content and read-only file content through virtual documents.
• Create and edit pull requests.
• Create issues and create branches for issues.
• Add, resolve, and unresolve pull request diff comments.
• Send selected pull request or issue context to the contributed Copilot chat participants.

Requirements

• VS Code ^1.120.0.
• A GitCode account.
• A GitCode Personal Access Token.
• A workspace with a GitCode remote, or the gitcode.repository setting configured as owner/repo.

Supported remote examples:

Architecture

The extension is split into four main areas:

• src/authentication - PAT auth, session storage, and auth state.
• src/common - configuration, constants, errors, logging, git helpers, and domain models.
• src/gitcode - REST client, services, repository resolver, and DTO mappers.
• src/view - tree views, webviews, commands, stores, diff/comment controllers, create flows, and Copilot context.

• Architecture Design
• Tree View Architecture

Known Issues

• Authentication currently uses Personal Access Tokens only.
• Repository detection expects a GitCode remote unless gitcode.repository is configured.
