Include a view of the version tree inside VS Code

[mgrojo]

It would be useful to have a display of the ClearCase version tree of an element inside VS Code. It might be easy to use a GUI tree (e.g. like the file explorer) to show this information, and, in some cases, it could be quicker to get an idea of the branch structure than opening the ClearCase version tree.

The information could be obtained with the cleartool lsvtree command.

As an example of what I mean, this other ClearCase extension has a GUI tree, but of the ClearCase history (cleartool lshistory), not the version tree. Although that might be useful at some point, a similar UI widget could be used for the version tree, and it would be more useful, in my opinion.

The license of the other extension is also MIT and it seems abandoned. That means that you would be allowed to take code from the other extension of any feature in case that were useful.

Hi,
that is something I already thought about. I will take a look at the extension you mentioned. Maybe it is not that hard to implement the feature 🙂

Best regards,
