Palimpsest 0.1.0 — Git History for VS Code
Palimpsest turns a Git repository into an interactive landscape inside VS Code.
- Explore arbitrary local repositories, worktrees, and bare repositories.
- Scrub the full timeline, inspect file diffs and history, and follow branches.
- Git runs in an isolated worker with bounded caches, cancellation, and foreground request priority.
- Hidden views release resources and restore their selected commit when reopened.
Install the attached .vsix with Extensions: Install from VSIX… in VS Code, then run Palimpsest: Open Git History. Requires VS Code 1.95+ and Git on the workspace host.
Marketplace submission: wenhaoquestion.palimpsest-git-history. The first submission may remain unavailable while Microsoft validates it.
