vscode-git-graph VS edamagit

Quite a while ago, the GitLens+ plugin gained the Commit Graph feature--the same graph you see in GitKraken. Until then I had used Git Graph for visualizing my repositories and GitLens+ for git blame in the GUI. Since one plugin could now do both, the natural course of action was to remove the other--goodbye, Git Graph!

I'm a paying user of Fork, it's my favorite Git GUI, I love it.

However, it "only" supports macOS and Windows. I'm migrating to Linux for my work and home computers, so I haven't used it in a while, just so I can get familiar with other tools available on Linux - and, importantly, learning to do more advanced Git operations in the terminal.

So far I still depend on a GUI, mainly VS Code's built-in Git integration and GitGraph.

..But I sure miss using Fork. I used it everyday for the last couple years. It does everything I want to do with Git, the UI is familiar and well-designed.

I see the main developer @DanPristupov is on HN, maybe he'd consider supporting Linux? I fully understand if you don't, since creating the same application for two OSes must be quite difficult already, especially for a small team rather than a company.

Probably the most underrated software I use daily are some of my Firefox extensions.

On the development side I use...

https://github.com/aaronvegh/nsregextester as my tried and true tool for regex debugging.

https://github.com/mhutchie/vscode-git-graph is a marvelous Git GUI for VSCode.

VS Code does not appear to provide a stylesheet or anything to help you get off the ground, AFAICT… I wish they did. Every extension I know of has to implement basic components from scratch, styling and all. Seems like a lot of boilerplate is necessary before you can start developing anything the user will see on screen.

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.

Are you referring to https://github.com/kahole/edamagit ?

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.
