API

The Git extension exposes an API, reachable by any other extension.

1. Copy src/api/git-base.d.ts to your extension's sources;
2. Include git-base.d.ts in your extension's compilation.
3. Get a hold of the API with the following snippet:

const gitBaseExtension = vscode.extensions.getExtension<GitBaseExtension>('vscode.git-base').exports;
const git = gitBaseExtension.getAPI(1);
