In Tell HN: Edamagit (VSCode) is looking for a new maintainerTell HN: Edamagit (VSCode) is looking for a new maintainer
Edamagit for VSCode, the Magit clone I started as a COVID lockdown project, is now seeking a new maintainer. I can no longer support this project, but I believe both the users and the project deserve a chance to thrive under the guidance of someone willing and capable.
Lately, my contributions have been to protect the extension from breaking changes in VSCode and to address critical bugs. I rely on this tool and use it daily, so I will likely continue to do so, at least for my setup, until a change in maintainership.

Are you referring to https://github.com/kahole/edamagit ?
In MagitYes but there is a VS Code version of it that is pretty decent: https://github.com/kahole/edamagit
In Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)You should check out edamagit, magit for vscode!

In Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)VSCode has an extension for that too, edamagit[0] :)
One of the big appeals of VSCode for me is the huge community around it, and the range of plugins available.

In The values of Emacs, the Neovim revolution, and the VSCode gorillaI had a similar experience recently, where I had to spend some time working in TypeScript on a React front-end and my emacs really was falling over unfortunately. Tried tide, tried the LSP, but ultimately I found myself in VSCode in order to make the deadline. Turns out there is a pretty great magit layer in VSCode (https://github.com/kahole/edamagit), and as a former long term vim user that had been using spacemacs, a great spacemacs-like bundle for VSCode (https://github.com/VSpaceCode/VSpaceCode).
It’s the first time I’ve actually felt like I could drop emacs if I wanted to, I actually was enjoying the setup.
