Git-ease

Quick and convenient linking from local a Git repository to external sources.

Problem

The current UI features in VS Code too limiting to represent Git features in a convenient way. There is also so many connected documents to Git repos (issues, PRs, etc) which I think can be better linked from VS Code.

Vision

Introduce a convenient and connected interface for viewing the Git log and related documents in VS Code SCM panel.

Settings

Commit log -> linkPatterns

gitEase.log.linkPatterns

Default: []

Configurable in JSON settings only

Provide three properties pre pattern to find custom patterns in the commit log to link from.

• pattern = Regex format as a string. Regex groups are needed to match with format numbers
• urlFormat = Url to source like Jira issue. Number will be replaced by matching Regex group
• textFormat = Text to display. Number will be replaced by matching Regex group

Jira example:

[{
  "pattern": "(GE-[0-9]+)",
  "urlFormat": "https://jira.com/browse/{0}",
  "textFormat": "{0}",
}]
