RepoDeck is a GitHub client that lives directly inside VS Code, and it is designed to work well even in independent editor forks such as Google Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium, where the official GitHub extension often has limited functionality or authentication problems. The official GitHub extension for VS Code has several gaps that RepoDeck sets out to fix. It has no interactive project board support, so tracking a Kanban board means leaving your editor for a browser tab. It depends heavily on Microsoft's built in authentication, which is often broken or restricted on alternative editor forks. It offers no way to take a brand new, empty project folder and turn it into a live GitHub repository. And on large projects, it can run into rate limits because it relies on search based API endpoints that allow only 30 requests per minute. RepoDeck addresses each of these. It includes an interactive project board panel built with a small UI library called Preact, offering drag and drop status changes, an editable spreadsheet style table view, and a roadmap style timeline view. For signing in, it supports either the standard session login or a personal access token, and stores that token encrypted locally using VS Code's SecretStorage feature, so it works on any VS Code based editor. It can also take a completely blank folder all the way to a working GitHub repository in one click: creating the repository under your account or an organization, setting up local git, making the first commit, and pushing it to GitHub. Finally, it caches data locally so the interface loads instantly on reopening, and it relies on higher capacity listing endpoints rather than the more limited search endpoints. Behind the scenes, RepoDeck splits its work into two parts. A backend running inside the VS Code extension host handles authentication, local git commands, and communication with GitHub's REST and GraphQL APIs. A frontend, built with Preact and running inside VS Code's webview panels, displays the board, issue, and pull request views, and talks to the backend by sending messages back and forth. The project is built in TypeScript and is available to install from both the VS Code Marketplace and the Open VSX registry.
