Show the current git user email in the VS Code status bar so you always know which identity will be used for the next commit.

Features

  • Status bar indicator — shows the effective user.email for the current workspace
  • Tooltip — hover to see both user.name and user.email
  • Auto-refresh — updates when you switch to a file in a different workspace folder

Works with Git's includeIf conditional config, so the displayed email reflects the actual identity that will be used when you commit.

Installation

Install it from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
