Monitors VS Code file save events and automatically stages and commits changed files to the Git repository without user intervention. Integrates with VS Code's file system watcher to detect save operations, then invokes git add and git commit commands with auto-generated or AI-assisted commit messages. Operates on a configurable delay interval (default 30 seconds) to batch multiple rapid saves into single commits.
Unique: Replaces explicit git commit workflow with transparent file-save-triggered automation, treating version control as an implicit document property rather than an explicit user action. Uses VS Code's native file system watchers and command execution APIs rather than spawning separate git daemon processes.
vs alternatives: Simpler and more transparent than pre-commit hooks or CI/CD-based auto-commits because it operates directly within the editor context where developers are already working, eliminating the need for external tooling or branch-specific workflows.
Inspects VS Code's native Problems panel (which aggregates errors and warnings from linters, type checkers, and other extensions) and conditionally prevents auto-commits when code contains errors above a configurable severity threshold. Reads error metadata from the Problems panel API and gates the git commit operation based on error count or severity level, allowing developers to maintain code quality without manual intervention.
Unique: Leverages VS Code's native Problems panel as a unified error aggregation source, allowing GitDoc to enforce quality gates without reimplementing linting logic. This design integrates with any linting extension that reports to the Problems panel, creating a language-agnostic and tool-agnostic quality gate.
vs alternatives: More lightweight than pre-commit hooks or husky because it operates within the editor context and reuses existing linting infrastructure, avoiding the need to configure separate git hooks or external CI/CD systems.
Provides a mirror icon in VS Code's status bar that allows developers to quickly enable or disable auto-commit functionality with a single click. Offers immediate visual feedback on auto-commit state and provides a convenient toggle without requiring command palette or settings navigation.
Unique: Integrates a clickable status bar icon that provides immediate visual feedback on auto-commit state and allows single-click toggling. Uses VS Code's status bar API to provide a lightweight, always-visible control without requiring modal dialogs or settings navigation.
vs alternatives: More discoverable and faster than command palette or settings-based toggling because the status bar icon is always visible and requires only a single click, making it ideal for frequent toggling during development.
Provides VS Code command palette commands ('GitDoc: Enable' and 'GitDoc: Disable') that allow developers to control auto-commit functionality through the standard VS Code command interface. Integrates with VS Code's command system and can be bound to custom keybindings or invoked via command palette search.
Unique: Registers VS Code commands that integrate with the standard command palette and command system, allowing developers to control auto-commit through keyboard shortcuts or command sequences. Follows VS Code's command naming conventions and integrates with the extension API.
vs alternatives: More flexible than status bar toggling because it supports custom keybindings and command automation, enabling power users to integrate auto-commit control into their existing keyboard-driven workflows.
Automatically pushes committed changes to the configured remote Git repository (typically origin) after each auto-commit operation completes. Invokes git push commands asynchronously to avoid blocking the editor, with configurable retry logic and error handling for network failures or authentication issues. Keeps local and remote repositories in sync without requiring manual push operations.
Unique: Chains push operations directly after auto-commits without user interaction, creating a transparent synchronization loop where local edits flow to remote automatically. Uses asynchronous git push invocation to prevent editor blocking while maintaining sequential commit-then-push ordering.
vs alternatives: More immediate and transparent than manual push workflows or scheduled CI/CD syncs because it pushes on every commit, ensuring remote always reflects latest local state with minimal latency.
Periodically or on-demand fetches and merges changes from the configured remote Git repository into the current branch, keeping the local workspace synchronized with remote updates from collaborators. Implements pull operations (git fetch + git merge or git pull) with conflict detection and handling, allowing multiple developers to work on the same repository without manual synchronization steps.
Unique: Automates the pull operation to maintain bidirectional synchronization with remote, creating a push-pull loop that keeps local and remote repositories in continuous sync. Operates transparently without requiring user awareness of pull operations.
vs alternatives: More seamless than manual pull workflows because it eliminates the need for developers to remember to pull before pushing, reducing merge conflicts and keeping the workspace current with minimal cognitive load.
Integrates with GitHub Copilot to automatically generate human-readable, semantically meaningful commit messages based on the actual code changes in each commit. Analyzes file diffs and uses Copilot's language model to produce descriptive messages (e.g., 'Add error handling for network timeouts' instead of generic 'Update file.js'), improving commit history readability and searchability without requiring manual message composition.
Unique: Delegates commit message generation to GitHub Copilot's language model, eliminating the need for manual message composition while maintaining semantic quality. Integrates with Copilot's existing authentication and API infrastructure in VS Code rather than implementing custom NLP.
vs alternatives: More semantically accurate than template-based or regex-based commit message generation because it understands code intent and can produce contextually relevant descriptions, while being simpler than training custom models.
Integrates with VS Code's native Timeline view (accessible in the Explorer sidebar) to display the commit history of the current file as a visual timeline. Allows developers to inspect, restore, or revert to previous versions of files by clicking timeline entries, providing a visual interface to git history without requiring command-line git operations. Supports undo, restore, and squash operations directly from the timeline UI.
Unique: Leverages VS Code's native Timeline view API to surface git commit history as a visual timeline, avoiding the need for custom history UI while integrating seamlessly with the editor's existing navigation paradigm. Provides graphical restore/undo/squash operations that abstract away git command-line complexity.
vs alternatives: More discoverable and user-friendly than command-line git operations because the timeline is visually integrated into the editor sidebar, making version history immediately accessible without context-switching to terminal or external tools.
