Visual staging
Working, Staged and Stashes sit under one Changes tab, in a flat list or a folder tree, with bulk stage, unstage and discard.
Free Works in VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf
Your whole Git loop in one calm panel.
Gitable is a Git sidebar for VS Code. Review changed files, stage what belongs,
let AI draft the commit message, and push, all without leaving the editor.
It uses your own OpenAI, Gemini or Claude key.
- No backend
- No telemetry
- Your own API key
- Open source
Get started
Install, add a key, commit.
Gitable lives in the activity bar. There is nothing to sign up for: bring an API key from the provider you already use and the panel is ready.
Install the extension
From the Marketplace, or straight from your terminal.
$ code --install-extension piyushdoorwar.gitablePick a provider and save your key
Open Settings in the Gitable panel, choose OpenAI, Gemini or Claude, and hit Save & Validate. The key goes into VS Code SecretStorage and the live model list loads.
Stage and generate
Check the files that belong together, move them to Staged, and press the sparkle in the summary field. Edit the draft if you like, then commit.
Other editors
Gitable runs anywhere VS Code extensions do, including Cursor and Windsurf. Install the same way from your editor's extension view.
Control the token budget
Settings → Config sets how much diff each AI call may send (Low, Mid or High). Lockfiles, build output and other generated files are filtered out first.
Features
Git work, gathered into one panel.
The everyday loop stays visible: inspect files, stage the right changes, write the commit, and sync.
AI commit messages
A summary and description drafted from the staged diff, with an optional prefix such as a JIRA-123 key.
Bring your provider
OpenAI, Gemini or Claude with your own key, and a model list fetched live from the provider.
History and summaries
Expand any commit to see its files, select a range with shift-click, and get a plain-English summary of what changed.
Security review
Scan staged changes, the working tree or selected commits for risky code, with findings ranked by severity.
Branches and sync
Separate pull and push buttons with ahead and behind counts, publish with upstream, and a guided choice when branches diverge.
Conflicts and rebase
Conflicted files get their own section with merge-editor and mark-resolved actions, plus Continue and Abort for rebases.
Stashes with notes
Stash staged work or selected files, then pop, apply or drop it later. Add a note so you remember what each stash holds.
Tags, amend and undo
Create and push tags, amend the last commit, undo an unpushed commit, revert or cherry-pick, and force-push with lease.
Workflow
From changed files to a reviewed commit.
Every AI feature reads only the diff you point it at. Review it like any other suggestion, then commit with confidence.
- Open any file's diff in VS Code's native diff editor, straight from the list.
- Run a security review before you commit, or on a range of commits before you merge.
- Unpushed commits are marked in History, so you always know what still lives only on your machine.
- Optional Jira panel: see your open issues, then create a branch or commit prefix from one.

HIGHInjection
Shell string built from user input
exec(`git log ${ref}`) passes an unescaped branch name to a shell. Use execFile with an argument array.
MEDIUMSecrets
API key logged on failure
The error handler writes the request headers, including Authorization, to the output channel.
Privacy first
Your repository stays on your machine.
Gitable has no backend. The only thing that leaves VS Code is the diff you choose to send, and it goes straight to your provider.
No extension server
AI requests go from VS Code to the provider you configured. Gitable does not proxy, log or store them.
SecretStorage keys
API keys and Jira tokens live in VS Code SecretStorage, never in settings files or your repository.
You choose the diff
Generation reads the staged diff only, filters generated files and caps the size to your token budget.
No telemetry
There is no analytics pipeline. Usage reports are computed locally to help you understand your own AI calls.
Add Gitable to VS Code.
Gitable is a free VS Code extension. Install it from the Visual Studio Marketplace, or open it straight in VS Code, then pick your provider and start committing from the activity bar.
