It's almost like an extended functionality added on top of git stash, but now you get to restore the active tabs as well instead of just the line changes to the files themselves. Cool stuff!

Haha when I was telling a teammate about the idea, he replied “oh, like git stash on steroids”.

Yeah. I suppose with VSCode you could accomplish the same thing with just git stash, when you apply the stash then the list of those files will appear in the version control sidebar, but that's kind of janky whereas this allows more precise control. Kudos for writing the extension!

Also, imagine you have a file open that you haven't modified, you have it open just because you're referencing things from there. That file would not show up in git stash. With the extension you can add those files as well.
