What is it?

edamagit brings the Magit workflow from Emacs into Visual Studio Code. It opens a status view that lists unstaged, staged, untracked and recent-commit sections, and most Git operations are reached through single-key popups for commit, branch, push, pull, rebase, merge, stash, tag, and reset.

Actions are applied directly on the item under the cursor. You can stage or unstage individual hunks, discard changes, reverse or revert commits, and visit files or commits with Enter. Commands are available from the command palette and have default shortcuts that can be remapped through VS Code's keybindings file.

The extension offers optional Forge integration for showing pull requests and issues from GitHub, settings for hiding status sections and choosing where Magit windows open, and a documented setup for Vim users with VSCodeVim bindings that mirror evil-magit.
