A VSCode extension for quickly committing all changes before deploying robot code. Click "Deploy Robot Code (Event)" in the editor menu. The current branch must begin with "event" (e.g. "event_nhgrs"). After an event, these commits can be squashed and merged to another branch.
This is intended for use with AdvantageKit. Replaying the code based on a log file requires that the same version of code is running in the simulator. We record the Git SHA as metadata in the log file; by making a new commit before every deploy, this extension guarantees that there are no uncommitted changes.
An example commit message is shown below.
