edamagit VS magit-delta

Edamagit for VSCode, the Magit clone I started as a COVID lockdown project, is now seeking a maintainer. I can no longer support this project, but I believe both the users and the project deserve a chance to thrive under the guidance of someone willing and capable.

Lately, my only contributions have been to protect the extension from breaking changes in VSCode and to address critical bugs. I rely on this tool and use it daily, so I will continue to do so unless there's a change in maintainership.

There is a magit inspired extension for VSCode called edamagit. Last I tried it the bare basics were there, but things quickly fell apart when I tried doing anything more than staging a chunk and committing it. But I would image it’s only been getting better over time.

One alternative would be to just not use the mouse with VS Code. For committing, there’s https://github.com/kahole/edamagit where Alt-x c c Ctrl+c Ctrl+c gets you there. Same goes for opening files, etc.

Example where you can see the raw button on the right: https://github.com/kahole/edamagit/blob/develop/tsconfig.json

Not at all - pretty much the opposite: I switched to VS Code after using Emacs (Spacemacs and later Doom Emacs) for 4.5 years. Other than the excellent keyboard usability, I've always found emacs to be a bit of a pain. After I found Edamagit and VSpaceCode, I was sold.

I use this for git interactions in VSCode

magit-delta's dev is very responsive, but there's still an outstanding performance issue blocking me from adopting it:

magit-delta does this. I tried it a few years ago myself and ran into some issues. About time I try it again :)

For now I disable this package, but I really miss the magit highlighting. I created github issue, but it has no updates since 3 weeks, so maybe community could found the solution?

You might be interested in Delta and the emacs package magit-delta that uses it. It has this feature and several other as well.
