Editor extensions
Bring GitStudio into your editor.
Prefer to stay in VS Code or Cursor? GitStudio ships two open-source extensions — the same engine as the desktop app, live on the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX. Pick the full suite, or just the merge editor.
- VS Code
- Cursor
- VSCodium
- Windsurf
- code-server
Two focused choices
Which one do you need?
GitStudio
The whole Git workflow
Commit graph, blame, history, hunk & line staging, three-pane merge, interactive rebase, worktrees, and in-editor GitHub pull requests. 77 commands, five sidebar views, Apache-2.0.
- Best if you want your whole Git workflow inside the editor
- 156+ installs on Open VSX and counting
Merge Studio
Just conflict resolution
The focused three-pane merge & conflict editor that started it all: color ribbons, one-click accepts, a conflicts dashboard, and a named undo history. Tiny, fast, MIT.
- Best if you only want a first-class merge editor
- 852+ installs on Open VSX · ★ 5.0 on the Marketplace
You don't need both — the GitStudio extension already includes the three-pane merge editor. Merge Studio is for people who want only that.
Editor coverage
Where they install.
A “VS Code extension” runs in every editor built on VS Code. Both extensions publish to two registries so they reach all of them from one build.
| Editor | Registry | GitStudio | Merge Studio |
|---|---|---|---|
| VS Code | Marketplace | ✓ | ✓ |
| Cursor | Open VSX | ✓ | ✓ |
| VSCodium | Open VSX | ✓ | ✓ |
| Windsurf | Open VSX | ✓ | ✓ |
| code-server | Open VSX | ✓ | ✓ |
Marketplace vs Open VSX
Two registries, one build.
Microsoft's VS Code Marketplace serves stock VS Code. Open VSX — the vendor-neutral, Eclipse-run registry — serves Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf, and code-server. GitStudio publishes the identical build to both, so whichever editor you run, you get the same extension and the same updates.
Same extension id, same version, same engine — gitstudio.gitstudio and gitstudio.merge-studio.
Part of GitStudio
There's a desktop app, too.
The extensions share their engine with GitStudio Desktop — the native macOS / Windows / Linux client with a built-in terminal, the full GitHub client, and an AI assistant that runs on your own keys.
