Git Fleet

One pane for every repository. A familiar Git graph for each one.

Git Fleet is a VS Code extension for people working across more repositories and Git worktrees than the built-in Source Control pane makes easy to watch. Its compact Activity Bar navigator tells you what is active, what is dirty, and where each repository lives. Selecting a repository opens the graph and Git actions inherited from Neo Git Graph.

What Git Fleet adds

• A dedicated Activity Bar pane instead of another toolbar inside Source Control
• Repository discovery below every workspace folder, including nested projects
• Optional global search roots for repositories outside the current workspace
• Independent list/folder-tree layouts with recent-activity, dirty-file, or alphabetical sorting
• A persistent eye control that hides clean repositories
• Compact repository rows that preserve age and branch context, with clean/dirty status pinned at the right edge
• A clickable Uncommitted Changes row with the same file tree and diff flow as a commit
• A worktree rail showing each checkout's HEAD, dirty state, branch, and inferred base
• Viewport-edge arrows when a worktree connector continues above or below the loaded history

The repository navigator is intentionally read-only. Repository-level actions—checkout, branch, merge, tag, reset, cherry-pick, and more—stay in the graph where their context is visible.

Install

Git Fleet is not yet listed in the VS Code Marketplace. Download the latest .vsix from GitHub Releases, then run:

code --install-extension git-fleet-v0.2.0.vsix

Or choose Extensions: Install from VSIX... from the VS Code Command Palette.

After installation, select the Git Fleet icon in the Activity Bar. The folder-plus button opens the native folder chooser. The adjacent settings button opens Git Fleet: Watched Folders, where extra folders can be added or removed without editing JSON.

Configuration

All extension settings use the git-fleet prefix.

Setting	Default	Purpose
git-fleet.repositorySearchRoots	[]	Additional folders to scan in every window
git-fleet.maxDepthOfRepoSearch	4	Nested folder depth used for repository discovery
git-fleet.showUncommittedChanges	true	Show working changes as the first graph row
git-fleet.showCurrentBranchByDefault	false	Open the graph filtered to the current branch
git-fleet.initialLoadCommits	300	Initial graph history length
git-fleet.loadMoreCommits	100	Additional commits loaded on demand
git-fleet.fetchAvatars	false	Fetch commit avatars from external services

The full settings list is available in VS Code under Extensions → Git Fleet.

Worktree history

Git records a worktree's current HEAD but not the exact commit from which that worktree was originally created. Git Fleet therefore draws HEAD connectors as confirmed state and labels base connectors as inferred merge bases against the repository's default branch. That distinction is deliberate.
