Git Change Lists

JetBrains-style change lists for VS Code — organize uncommitted changes into logical groups, synced with IntelliJ-based IDEs.

Features

• Create change lists to organize your work (features, bugs, experiments)
• Move files between change lists with a click
• Sync with JetBrains IDEs — reads/writes .idea/workspace.xml
• View diffs directly from the change list
• Works alongside VS Code's Git — complements, doesn't replace

Installation
