Warning
This extension is not available on the Visual Studio Marketplace. @microsoft took inexplicable action against my account, and after repeatedly hitting a non-responsive wall, I chose to delete it rather than waste more time fighting bureaucracy.

The extension is available on all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, while it's generally compatible with these platforms, please note that testing is more extensive on some platforms than others. If you encounter any issues on your specific platform, feel free to raise an issue with relevant details.
Warning
If you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), please be aware that full support might be limited. In WSL, the repo cli needs to be installed, and it may not work correctly if the PATH is not inherited. You can set repositories.preferBundled to false to always use the binary from the PATH instead of bundled one. For more information, refer to #2 and #4.
