Git Menu Ext

IntelliJ Platform plugin that adds extra Git actions for branch management and file export.

Compatible with all IntelliJ-based IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Rider, GoLand, WebStorm, etc.).

Features

Delete Branches

Deletes local branches matching a keyword.

Location: Git menu → Delete Branches...

1. Enter a keyword (e.g. release-)
2. Review the list of matched branches
3. Confirm to delete

The current branch is always skipped. All matched branches are force-deleted (-D).

Delete Outdated Branches

Lists and deletes local branches that have no tracking remote, or whose remote is gone.

Location: Git menu → Delete Outdated Branches...

1. The plugin scans git branch -vv for branches with no remote or remote marked as gone
2. A checklist dialog shows the candidates (branches not fully merged are marked with ⚠)
3. Select branches to delete and confirm
   • Fully merged branches are deleted with -d
   • Unmerged branches are deleted with -D

Export Changed Files

Exports all files changed between a range of commits in Git Log.

Location: Git Log context menu → Export Changed Files...

1. Select 2 commits in the Git Log (Ctrl/Cmd+click or drag to select a range)
2. Right-click → Export Changed Files...
3. Configure:
   • File extensions: filter by extension (e.g. vue ts js), leave empty for all files
   • Output directory: where to export
   • Export as zip: pack into a zip archive, or copy as a directory tree
4. The output is named {project}-{oldestHash}-{newestHash}.zip (or directory)
