Set Settings > git.postCommitCommand to sync to run git.sync after commit.

Tests

• yarn test runs the unit test suite (vitest). • yarn test:e2e runs the end-to-end suite: it builds the extension bundle, launches a real VS Code instance against a temporary git repo, drives the conventional-commits flow non-interactively, and asserts a real commit lands on HEAD. Sources live under e2e-test/. The first run downloads a VS Code build into .vscode-test/ (network access required).
