I think there are a lot of GIT gui tools out there and there is no reason you 
can’t use one of those completely separate from Frescobaldi.  But. Git is not 
easy for some folks to grok either….it can be very dangerous to let just anyone 
run git commands without knowing what they are doing with it.  Probably the 
best thing would be to create some dedicated wrapper scripts for your own in 
house use that your contributors can use to make it easy for them to do simple 
tasks of checking in changes, or attaching to known branches, etc.  Sometimes 
using a nice git gui can just get them into more trouble if they do the wrong 
thing with it.

I personally don’t see any benefit to building this kind of thing into 
Frescobaldi, nor is it necessary to use VSCode.  I personally do all my git 
stuff directly from a command line.  And I don’t do anything complicated with 
it most of the time.  You can use Frescobaldi and have a terminal window open 
to run git commands or simplified wrapper scripts which is what I would 
definitely recommend for contributors who are not inherently coders.
