A VSCode extension for staging/unstaging files without changes from outside of the source control window.

• Stage/unstage files with or without changes, directly from the explorer or currently opened file.
• Integrates seamlessly with the default Git integration.

Sort of, but not really. The default Git integration only provides commands to stage/unstage files with changes, unless you do it from the Source Control window.

This can be really annoying in situations where you have a lot of untracked files (e.g. when working with bare git repos for dotfiles), in which case it is a lot more convenient to stage files directly from the explorer view.

The Git integration does however expose all the necessary APIs to achieve this under the hood, which is what this extension is using.

• Git: Stage Current File
  Stages the file currently opened in the editor.

• Git: Unstage Current File
  Unstages the file currently opened in the editor.

• Git: Stage Selected Files
  Stages the file(s) selected in the explorer.

• Git: Unstage Selected Files
  Unstages the file(s) selected in the explorer.

None, so far.
