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?

The full Git workflow in your editor: a commit graph, inline blame, staging, rebase, and pull requests.

v1.20.0723 installs10,443 downloads

The GitStudio extension’s Commit Graph panel in VS Code: branches, tags and merges as coloured lanes

The three-pane merge editor and the conflicts dashboard on their own, with a named undo history.

v1.4.1694 installs4,131 downloads

Merge Studio’s three-way merge editor in VS Code on its sample conflict: yours, the result and theirs side by side

You don't need both — the GitStudio extension already includes the same merge editor and conflicts dashboard. 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.

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 desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, with a built-in terminal, the full GitHub client, and an AI assistant that runs on your own keys.
