I'm interested in using Visual Studio Code to help understand how git works. I'm thinking it would make it easy to see what actually happens when git commands are run.

What I don't know is how to integrate git's build system into Visual Studio Code. Has anybody tried this? If not, what tools do you use to debug git?

Please note that I'm *not* interested in running git from Visual Studio Code. That's another topic entirely that seems to be well covered on the Web.

Cordially, Jon Forrest
