Got IntelliJ VCS Integration for Game of Trees
Native version control support for Game of Trees https://gameoftrees.org/ (got)
in IntelliJ-based IDEs: the same file status, diff, commit, history, and
update/push workflow you get with Git, backed by the got CLI.
Features
--------
Detects .got/ work trees as a got VCS root automatically
File status in the Commit tool window (got status)
Native diff and modified-lines gutter (got cat against the base commit)
Commit and rollback from the Commit tool window (got commit, got revert)
A Commit and Send button next to the default Commit action: commits and
opens the native Push dialog in one step
A Log tab with the full commit graph, refs (branches/remote
branches/tags), and per-commit changed files
File history (got log) and Update Project (got update / got fetch)
Clone repositories over ssh:// from the native Clone Repository dialog
(Got in the Version control dropdown)
Current branch name shown in the status bar, and the native Push dialog
(Ctrl+Shift+K) with real outgoing-commit detection for got send
Automatic refresh of the Commit panel and Log tab after commit, push,
or update including changes made outside the IDE (e.g. got commit
in a terminal)
A Settings panel (Settings > Version Control > got) to override the got
binary path and SSH_AUTH_SOCK, for setups where auto-detection doesnt
apply
How it works
------------
Theres no daemon and no cached repository model: every action shells out
to the got binary for the relevant work tree and adapts its output to the
corresponding IntelliJ Platform VCS API.
IntelliJ feature got command
VCS root detection presence of a .got/ directory
File status got status
Diff / gutter got cat -c :base
Commit got commit -m <message> <paths>
Rollback got revert -R <paths>
Commit and Send got commit, then opens the Push dialog
Log tab got log -b, got cat, got ref -l
History got log
Update Project got fetch + got update
Branch widget got info (work tree branch reference)
Push got send
Outgoing commits got ref -l + got log -x against the remote
Clone got clone (bare repo) + got checkout (work tree)
Source is organized by responsibility under dev.nezzontli.gotvcs:
cli the single wrapper around got invocations (GotCommandLineWrapper)
changes, checkin, history, update, roots one package per VCS
extension point implemented
repo the Repository model and the branch-name status bar widget
push native Push dialog support (PushSupport and friends),
including outgoing-commit detection
checkout the Got entry in the Clone Repository dialog (CheckoutProvider)
log the Log tab (VcsLogProvider) and the refresh notifier that
keeps it and the Commit panel up to date
settings the persisted configuration and its Settings panel
Requirements
------------
IntelliJ IDEA (or another IntelliJ Platform IDE) 2026.1 or newer
The got binary, either on PATH or configured under Settings > Version
Control > got
Building
--------
./gradlew buildPlugin
The resulting ZIP is written to build/distributions/ and can be installed
via Settings > Plugins > > Install Plugin from Disk.
By default, this downloads a matching IntelliJ IDEA build to compile
against. To use a local installation instead (faster, no download), set in
~/.gradle/gradle.properties (not part of this repo):
ideLocalPath=/path/to/your/IntelliJ/installation
Contributing
------------
Issues and pull requests are welcome. Before submitting a change:
./gradlew buildPlugin verifyPlugin
verifyPlugin checks compatibility against the IDE versions declared by
sinceBuild in build.gradle.kts and flags deprecated API usage.
Releasing
---------
Pushing a v* tag triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds,
verifies, creates a GitHub Release with the plugin ZIP attached, and
once a PUBLISH_TOKEN secret is configured publishes to the JetBrains
Marketplace.
