Stage Selected Ranges Button

Stage selected lines in a Git diff with fewer clicks.

Preview

Usage

1. Open a Git diff in VS Code.
2. Select the part of the changed text you want to stage.
3. Wait briefly for the popup to appear.
4. Click Stage Selected Ranges.

The extension calls VS Code's built-in git.stageSelectedRanges command and leaves normal file selection behavior unchanged outside supported diff contexts.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.90.0 or later
• built-in Git extension enabled
• a diff context where Stage Selected Ranges is actually available

Notes

• The popup is anchored near the active end of the selection to reduce overlap with the start of the selection.

2. Press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host.
3. In the new window, open a Git repository with modified files.
4. Open a diff editor and test the selection flow.
