27# Git integration for Visual Studio Code
**Notice:** This extension is bundled with Visual Studio Code. It can be disabled but not uninstalled.
## Features
See [Git support in VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/versioncontrol#_git-support) to learn about the features of this extension.
## API
The Git extension exposes an API, reachable by any other extension.
1. Copy `src/api/git.d.ts` to your extension's sources;
2. Include `git.d.ts` in your extension's compilation.
3. Get a hold of the API with the following snippet:
```ts
const gitExtension = vscode.extensions.getExtension<GitExtension>('vscode.git').exports;
const git = gitExtension.getAPI(1);
```
**Note:** To ensure that the `vscode.git` extension is activated before your extension, add `extensionDependencies` ([docs](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/extension-manifest)) into the `package.json` of your extension:
```json
"extensionDependencies": [
"vscode.git"
]
```
