Git branch files

This extension adds to vscode a feature that automatically synchronizes the list of open files according to the current git branch. This feature is built-in in other IDEs like IntelliJ.

Simplified example

1. User is working on branch branch-1 with the following files open: a.txt and b.txt.
2. User switches to new branch branch-2 and closes file b.txt, leaving only a.txt open.
3. After switching back to branch-1, the b.txt file is opened again, so the list of open files will be again: a.txt and b.txt.

Features

• Automatically restore the list of open files when switching back to a branch
• Pinned files are not closed when switching branches
• Extension automatically restores focus to the file that was active before leaving the branch
• Switching to a new branch does not change the list of open files
