Branch Workspaces
VS Code editor state, restored on every git branch switch!
What it does
Every developer knows the pain: you switch git branches and lose all your open tabs, splits, and scroll positions. Worse, you forget exactly where you left off when you switch back. Branch Workspaces fixes that. It automatically saves your entire editor state (tabs, splits, cursors, scroll positions, pinned tabs) per branch. Switch between branches and everything is exactly where you left it. Zero config needed. Includes manual commands, status bar info, and more QoL. Free and open source.

Personally, I think the JJ VCS (https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj) hit a point some time in this past year where I find it hard to find a great reason to continue using git. Over the years I've cobbled together aliases and bash functions to try to improve my git workflow, but after using jj, which works with ~any git repo and integrates great with Github repos, all of the workflow issues I ran into with git are not only solved, but improved in ways I couldn't manage with simple scripts. One example is the op log, which lets you go to any point in your repo's time and provides…
