edamagit for VSCode has evolved quite a bit since initially posting the alpha here. It's still in preview, but more magit and forge features are now present. Would love some more feedback, and pointers to areas to focus on. (Have had some contributions, but mostly it's me working on this)

Any tips on how to activate edamagit in VSCode? I have edamagit installed but I can't figure out how to actually open it to use it....dumb question-- I apologize-- but I've been struggling to find a clear answer on google :/

Yes, after installation you can use the default keyboard shortcut ‘Alt+x g’ to open the edamagit status view. You could also run the command ‘Magit Status’ from the VSCode command pallete. [1]

Similarly, I'm struggling with the settings / turning on forge.

I'd love to be able to list issues, read them, comment on them, edit them, add/remove labels, etc.

Basically, trying to recreate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVOd1yOKVqQ (using the original magit/forge) inside of vscode!

For now Github is the only supported forge. The repo has to have a github remote defined, and it will try to load issues and pull requests. The forge functionality is very new.

This is a very cool plugin! I'm the sole Emacs user on my team, who mostly use VS Code, and I'm always extolling the virtues of Magit. I can't wait to share this with them tomorrow!

Kudos to you. Currently on mobile, so can't really test. Does this work with Onivim2?

I'm not sure, haven't tried. Onivim2 looks cool! Looks like they support VSCode extensions, so hopefully it'll work without too much hassle. For the VSCodeVim extensions I recommend alternative edamagit keybindings to avoid collisions. These are available in the edamagit README.md
