But with the source being so light, it should hypothetically be very easy to implement features such as this nicely, without the massive overhead of navigating a HUGE codebase.
When you properly fork vscode, you have to wrestle with millions of lines of TS, strict extension APIs, complex IPC layers, and deep dependency injection trees just to change core UI behaviors.
(I googled that)
With OpenGravity, because it's just DOM manipulation and straightforward JS, adding custom native UI for Git would be way way simpler to wire up!
If you want to take a stab at implementing it, PRs are definitely welcome!
