Looks quite good if you want to use git exclusively in vscode.

IMO, fork is the best git client for macOS/Windows but lacks native linux support (although they are experimenting with it).

Until fork gains linux support, this seems like a nice alternative if running on linux (and if it supports the remote development APIs: running on a linux docker image)

Do you have a source for this maybe? This is very exciting news but I don't wanna get my hopes up if it's not true

There's no official announcement per se, but the windows version is built with .net which has been getting better linux support over the last two years.

There are unofficial instructions to run it through wine on their issue tracker.

I was aware of some people trying to get it working on wine but last I checked it wasn't really going anywhere, there were some big blockers there, and I didn't know the developers were interested in it at all.

Fork and VS are probably the top 2 pieces of software I'm missing to fully migrate to linux so I'd be very happy if they developed an official port that works as well as it does on win.
