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.

Validation: 47 automated tests passed, TypeScript and production build passed, and timeline/visibility flows were exercised in VS Code on macOS.
