New VS Code Extension: Git Remote Changes Alert

I have published a small VS Code extension called Git Remote Changes Alert.

It does one simple thing: it makes remote Git changes easier to notice while you work. The extension adds a status bar indicator that shows when your current branch is behind its remote, and it can also show when the default branch has moved ahead.

I built it because I wanted a clearer signal inside VS Code when a repo had changed remotely. It is a small tool, but it solves a real annoyance in day to day work.

You can find it here:

– Git Remote Changes Alert on the VS Code Marketplace
– Source code on GitHub

If you work in VS Code and want a simple reminder when a branch needs attention, it may be useful.
