Git Graph extension for Visual Studio Code

View a Git Graph of your repository, and easily perform Git actions from the graph. Configurable to look the way you want!

Features

Git Graph View:
- Display:
  - Local & Remote Branches
  - Local Refs: Heads, Tags & Remotes
  - Uncommitted Changes
- Perform Git Actions (available by right clicking on a commit / branch / tag):
  - Create, Checkout, Delete, Fetch, Merge, Pull, Push, Rebase, Rename & Reset Branches
  - Add, Delete & Push Tags
  - Checkout, Cherry Pick, Drop, Merge & Revert Commits
  - Clean, Reset & Stash Uncommitted Changes
  - Apply, Create Branch From, Drop & Pop Stashes
  - View annotated tag details (name, email, date and message)
  - Copy commit hashes, and branch, stash & tag names to the clipboard
- View commit details and file changes by clicking on a commit. On the Commit Details View you can:
  - View the Visual Studio Code Diff of any file change by clicking on it.
  - Open the current version of any file that was affected in the commit.
  - Copy the path of any file that was affected in the commit to the clipboard.
  - Click on any HTTP/HTTPS url in the commit body to open it in your default web browser.
- Compare any two commits by clicking on a commit, and then CTRL/CMD clicking on another commit. On the Commit Comparison View you can:
  - View the Visual Studio Code Diff of any file change between the selected commits by clicking on it.
  - Open the current version of any file that was affected between the selected commits.
  - Copy the path of any file that was affected between the selected commits to the clipboard.
- Code Review - Keep track of which files you have reviewed in the Commit Details & Comparison Views.
  - Code Review's can be performed on any commit, or between any two commits (not on Uncommitted Changes).
  - When a Code Review is started, all files needing to be reviewed are bolded. When you view the diff / open a file, it will then be un-bolded.
  - Code Reviews persist across Visual Studio Code sessions. They are automatically closed after 90 days of inactivity.
- View uncommitted changes, and compare the uncommitted changes with any commit.
- Hover over any commit vertex on the graph to see a tooltip indicating:
  - Whether the commit is included in the HEAD.
  - Which branches, tags and stashes include the commit.
- Filter the branches shown in Git Graph using the 'Branches' dropdown menu. The options for filtering the branches are:
  - Show All branches
  - Select one or more branches to be viewed
  - Select from a user predefined array of custom glob patterns (by setting git-graph.customBranchGlobPatterns)
- Fetch from Remote(s) (available on the top control bar)
- Find Widget allows you to quickly find one or more commits containing a specific phrase (in the commit message / date / author / hash, branch or tag names).
- Repository Settings Widget:
  - Allows you to view, add, edit, delete, fetch & prune remotes of the repository.
  - Configure "Issue Linking" - Converts issue numbers in commit messages into hyperlinks, that open the issue in your issue tracking system.
  - Configure "Pull Request Creation" - Automates the opening and pre-filling of a Pull Request form, directly from a branches context menu.
    - Support for the publicly hosted Bitbucket, GitHub and GitLab Pull Request providers is built-in.
    - Custom Pull Request providers can be configured using the Extension Setting git-graph.customPullRequestProviders (e.g. for use with privately hosted Pull Request providers). Information on how to configure custom providers is available here.
- Keyboard Shortcuts (available in the Git Graph View):
  - CTRL/CMD + F: Open the Find Widget.
  - CTRL/CMD + H: Scrolls the Git Graph View to be centered on the commit referenced by HEAD.
  - CTRL/CMD + R: Refresh the Git Graph View.
  - CTRL/CMD + S: Scrolls the Git Graph View to the first (or next) stash in the loaded commits.
  - CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + S: Scrolls the Git Graph View to the last (or previous) stash in the loaded commits.
  - When the Commit Details View is open on a commit:
    - Up / Down: The Commit Details View will be opened on the commit directly above or below it on the Git Graph View.
    - CTRL/CMD + Up / CTRL/CMD + Down: The Commit Details View will be opened on its child or parent commit on the same branch.
  - Enter: If a dialog is open, pressing enter submits the dialog, taking the primary (left) action.
  - Escape: Closes the active dialog, context menu or the Commit Details View.
- Resize the width of each column, and show/hide the Date, Author & Commit columns.
- Common Emoji Shortcodes are automatically replaced with the corresponding emoji in commit messages (including all gitmoji). Custom Emoji Shortcode mappings can be defined in git-graph.customEmojiShortcodeMappings.
A broad range of configurable settings (e.g. graph style, branch colours, and more...). See the 'Extension Settings' section below for more information.
