I Built a VS Code Extension That Shows What Changed Since Your Last Save (No Git Needed)

Описание и применение

Расширение VS Code «SavePoint Diff» отображает изменения в файле с момента последнего сохранения, показывая их в виде цветных маркеров в строках и в панели контроля источника, без необходимости использования Git.

Задача

Developers editing files in non‑Git folders lack visual feedback on unsaved changes, making it hard to track edits.

Результат

Developers gain instant visual feedback on unsaved edits without needing Git, improving code awareness and reducing accidental mistakes.

Рабочий процесс

• Open a file in VS Code
• Start typing – gutter markers appear immediately
• Use the Source Control panel to view unsaved files
• Click a file to open a split diff of last‑saved vs. live buffer
• Hover a gutter marker and click "↺ Revert this change" to undo a specific change
• Use the Save All button to persist all changes

Доказательства

SavePoint Diff adds live gutter markers and a Source Control panel for your unsaved edits, in any folder, Git repo or not.

Источник

No .git folder required
