## Summary

A developer says they built a mod that adds a VS Code-style version control sidebar to the Claude Code Desktop app, which they find better than its staged changes and history views. The mod is listed in their mods marketplace and is available on GitHub at bradtraversy/traversy-claude-mods for others to use and modify.

## Post

I don't like how the Claude Code Desktop app shows staged changes, history, etc so I made a mod that is very similar to the VS Code version control sidebar. 
Added it to my mods marketplace. Feel free to use it, tweak it - https://github.com/bradtraversy/traversy-claude-mods
