Rhiza Manager

A Visual Studio Code extension for managing multiple Rhiza-based Git repositories in your workspace. View the status of all your repositories at a glance and perform bulk operations like pull and fetch across all repos.

Features

📊 Repository Status View

The extension adds a "Rhiza Repositories" view to your Explorer sidebar that displays all Git repositories in your workspace with their current status:

For each repository, you can see:

• Repository name - The folder name of the repository
• Current branch - The active Git branch
• Clean/Dirty status - Whether there are uncommitted changes
• Commits ahead/behind - How many commits you are ahead (↑) or behind (↓) the remote branch

🔄 Refresh Repository Status

Click the refresh icon (🔄) in the view title to update the status of all repositories.

⬇️ Pull All Repositories

Use the "Pull All Repositories" command to pull changes from the remote for all repositories in your workspace. The extension shows a progress notification as it processes each repository.

🔄 Fetch All Repositories

Use the "Fetch All Repositories" command to fetch updates from the remote for all repositories without merging them. This allows you to see what changes are available without modifying your working directory.

Getting Started

1. Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
2. Open a workspace containing multiple Git repositories (each repository should be a direct subfolder of your workspace root)
3. View your repositories in the "Rhiza Repositories" section of the Explorer sidebar
4. Use the commands from the view menu (three dots) or toolbar icons

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code version 1.107.0 or higher
• Git must be installed and available in your PATH
• Your workspace should contain one or more Git repositories as direct subfolders

Commands

This extension contributes the following commands:

• Refresh - Refresh the repository status view
• Pull All Repositories - Pull changes from remote for all repositories
• Fetch All Repositories - Fetch updates from remote for all repositories

You can access these commands by:

• Clicking the icons in the "Rhiza Repositories" view toolbar
• Right-clicking in the "Rhiza Repositories" view
• Using the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)

How to Use

Setting Up Your Workspace

workspace-root/
├── repo1/
│   └── .git/
├── repo2/
│   └── .git/
└── repo3/
    └── .git/

Viewing Repository Status

• Or use the Command Palette: "Refresh"

Pulling All Repositories

2. Watch the progress notification as each repository is pulled
3. The view will automatically refresh when complete

Fetching All Repositories

Status Indicators Explained

• Branch name (e.g., main, develop) - The current Git branch
• clean - No uncommitted changes in the working directory
• dirty - There are uncommitted changes (modified, added, or deleted files)
• ↑N - Number of commits your local branch is ahead of the remote
• ↓N - Number of commits your local branch is behind the remote

Known Issues

• Nested repositories are not currently detected
