Git Worklists

IntelliJ-style changelists for VS Code

Git Worklists brings structured changelists to VS Code, allowing you to organize changes into clear, independent work units instead of managing a flat list of modified files.

It provides explicit control over:

• staging
• partial staging (line-level)
• commits and amend
• push workflows
• stash management

All through a predictable UI built directly on top of the Git CLI.

Designed for developers who:

• miss IntelliJ changelists
• find VS Code’s default Source Control limiting
• want precise and explicit control over commits

---

Why Git Worklists?

VS Code presents all changes in a flat list.

Git Worklists lets you:

• group related changes into changelists
• stage and commit them independently
• keep your work organized and intentional
