Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the gitplace.dev website (the “Website”) and the GitPlace Visual Studio Code Extension (the “Extension”), provided by GitPlace (“GitPlace”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

2. Description of GitPlace

GitPlace provides local-first Git development workspace management tooling designed to operate within Visual Studio Code. GitPlace enables developers to organize repositories into projects, instantiate branch-isolated worktree directories, inspect local Git changes and split diffs, search commit history and manage local workspace configuration stashes.

Under its current architecture, GitPlace operates locally on the user’s machine. GitPlace is not a cloud repository hosting service or cloud backup provider.
