Git supercharged
GitLens supercharges the Git capabilities built into Visual Studio Code. It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and code lens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via powerful comparison commands, and so much more.
GitLens is an open-source extension for Visual Studio Code created by Eric Amodio.
GitLens simply helps you better understand code. Quickly glimpse into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed. Jump back through history to gain further insights as to how and why the code evolved. Effortlessly explore the history and evolution of a codebase. Dive right in and see how GitLens can help!
GitLens, while powerful and feature rich, is also highly customizable to meet your needs. Do you find code lens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting — no problem, quickly turn them off or change how they behave using the options below.
