VSCode Extension

[konradr]

Would love to see it as a vscode extension rather than stand alone app. Similar to GitLens

[vicary]

A standalone app is the only reason keeping me from using SourceTree and GitHub Desktop, there is enough cluttering on my desktop.

Would be a no brainer to try it out if it's a VS Code extension.

I'dlike to second this. I realize some of the drag&drop UI Flow will be difficult, impossible or not fit well into vscode. But the branch management would fit well and it would be a great plugin IMHO. As a standaone option, I don't see enough value to leave my vscode or idea workflow just to maintain git ...

Same request, but with the Intellij family - would switch super fast

[schacon]

It's a good idea, but we would need some sort of API/server, which we don't quite have yet. But 💡

[orimay]

Would love this too! A standalone app is a bit too much

[ozyx]

A VSCode plugin to at least restore support for some of the features that break when using it. A "Share GitHub Permalink" context menu action is absolutely essential imo

This is blocking my adoption as well; the context switch of using a separate app is too large for most of the work I do, but super excited about the prospect of GitButler!

Adding my petition here. Now that project idx is open to public, there is no way for me to use gitbutler in there

[smoochy]

Any update on this?

[Byron]

There is no work going in this direction right now and it's not on the roadmap yet.
However, I have created an issue to more easily interact with this request, and collection information as we go.

Second this

[alireza-taleghani-stratsys]

even some cli approach to open its UI and pointing project to the current repo would be a nice thing to have

Let me also add - I use VSCode on my machine, but VScode connects to a remote VM and all the development happens there. My local machine doesn't even have git installed. So I physically cannot try this product unless it's integrated with vscode, or alternatively I can run it as a binary on my remote VM and connect to it using the browser.

Thanks for sharing! In theory, thanks to tauri and the application architecture, having the backend run on a remote machine can technically already work, after all this is how the UI communications to the backend on the same host already.
However, currently tauri has no mechanism to actually support that.

[antspy]

Thanks for the reply! Something to think about then :) I will be following!
