Settings

  • Forge-enabled: Enable Forge functionality (show pull requests, issues, etc from e.g. Github)
  • Display-buffer-function: Choose which side for magit windows to open on.
  • Hide-status-sections: Hide listed sections from status view.
  • Quick-switch-enabled: Automatically confirm switch menu after enabling a switch (e.g. --force)

Monorepo support

When used in a monorepo, you need to make sure that the subdirectory can detect the parent's .git.

{
  "git.openRepositoryInParentFolders": "always",
}

Vim support (VSCodeVim)

All edamagit keybindings are customizable using VSCode's built-in keybindings.json.

Below are bindings providing evil-magit / spacemacs like keybindings.

The negative bindings, e.g. -magit.discard-at-point for key k, remove the default edamagit bindings and the collisions with the Vim extension.

[Open your keybindings.json][kse] and paste the following JSON snippet.
