Allow extensions to add views to the secondary side bar #151681

Now that the secondary sidebar has fully landed, it would be great if extensions could add views directly to it.

I am hoping to use the secondary sidebar for a new "Commit Details" view in GitLens, that could possibly track the current line (like the line history) and also for showing commit details when we add the ability for having a full commit graph in an editor tab,

Agreed. It'd be neat if we could define a panel or a view with a new optional prop like location with possible values like:

  • primary (how it currently works, and the default)
  • secondary which could be the new secondary sidebar.
