Embedded interactive smartlog

Access the Interactive Smartlog (ISL) interface directly within VS Code, without needing to launch it with <SLCommand name="web" />. Just run the Sapling: Open Interactive Smartlog command from the command palette.

VS Code source control API

Sapling also implements the VS Code API for source control:

• You can see your uncommitted changes in the Source Control sidebar.
• Files you change will have gutters that show what lines of code have changed.
• You can open an editable diff viewer from the command palette with Sapling SCM: Open Diff View For Current File.
