Show HN: vscode-gitui – Open GitUI inside VSCode

2 points by gymynnym 14 hours ago

I often use GitUI to manage Git repositories. In Neovim, I’ve enjoyed great GitUI integrations, but in VSCode I always had to resize the terminal panel or switch contexts — which felt cumbersome. So I built vscode-gitui, a small extension that lets you open GitUI directly inside the VSCode integrated terminal.

Why It's useful

- Removes unnecessary context switching (good for Vim users)

- Multi-workspace support: Provides a workspace picker when using multiple workspace

What is the benefit of using this compared to the integrated git panel?

    I built this for people who are more comfortable with GitUI than VSCode built-in git panel. GitUI is designed for keyboard-only control and supports vim-like keybindings, so it makes the workflow feel more natural for users of vim plugins.
