How to keep/save bookmarks during git rebase when file content doesn't change?

[Tony2]

I have some bookmarks for a file in a git project. When I update the project using git fetch; git rebase, the bookmarks are gone and I must add them again, manually.

I am aware that the extension doesn't work well with external changes to the file (e.g. Prettier). In my case the file content doesn't change after the git update, so I hope it's possible to keep the bookmarks?

Hi @Tony2 ,

If the file doesn’t change, the bookmarks shouldn’t change as well. If you open the file after the git fetch, it will validate if the bookmarks are still valid (line numbers), but just that.

Unless, when you run git rebase, the bookmarked file is opened in VS Code. In this case, I suppose the auto update VS Code does, is doing something similar to Prettier.

Which is your scenario?

Hi @alefragnani,

thank you for your reply. I run git rebase in terminal, while the file is still opened in VS Code. So I assume that I must close the file in VS Code before running git rebase and then open it again, and all will be fine?

Yep, that's the idea. If my assumption are correct, the bookmarks should remain.
