  64. # GitLens
  65. [GitLens](http://gitlens.amod.io 'Learn more about GitLens') is an [open-source](https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens 'Open GitLens on GitHub') extension for [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) created by [Eric Amodio](http://www.amod.io 'Learn more about Eric').
  66. While GitLens is generously offered to everyone free of charge, if you find it useful please consider [supporting](#support-gitlens 'Support GitLens') it.
  67. GitLens simply helps you understand code better. 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. Explore the history and evolution of a codebase.
  68. Here are just some of the features that GitLens provides,
  69. - a [_GitLens_ explorer](#gitlens-explorer 'Jump to the GitLens explorer') to navigate and explore repositories
  70. - a [_GitLens File History_ explorer](#gitlens-file-history-explorer 'Jump to the GitLens File History explorer') to navigate and explore file histories
  71. - an on-demand [_GitLens Results_ explorer](#gitlens-results-explorer 'Jump to the GitLens Results explorer') to navigate and explore commit searches, visualize comparisons between branches, tags, commits, and more
  72. - authorship [code lens](#code-lens 'Jump to the Code Lens') showing the most recent commit and # of authors to the top of files and/or on code blocks
  73. - an unobtrusive [current line blame](#current-line-blame 'Jump to the Current Line Blame') annotation at the end of the line
  74. - on-demand [gutter blame](#gutter-blame 'Jump to the Gutter Blame') annotations, including a heatmap, for the whole file
  75. - on-demand [gutter heatmap](#gutter-heatmap 'Jump to the Gutter Heatmap') annotations to show how recently lines were changed, relative to all the other changes in the file and to now (hot vs. cold)
  76. - on-demand [recent changes](#recent-changes 'Jump to the Recent Changes') annotations to highlight lines changed by the most recent commit
  77. - a [status bar blame](#status-bar-blame 'Jump to the Status Bar Blame') annotation showing author and date for the current line
  78. - [commit search](#commit-search 'Jump to the Commit Search') &mdash; by message, author, filename, commit id, or code changes
  79. - many powerful commands for exploring commits and histories, comparing and navigating revisions, stash access, repository status, etc
  80. - and so much [more](#features 'Jump to Features')
  81. GitLens is powerful, feature rich, and also [highly customizable](#gitlens-settings 'Jump to the GitLens settings docs') to meet your specific needs &mdash; find code lens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting &mdash; no problem, it is quick and easy to turn them off or change how they behave via the built-in [_GitLens Settings_ editor](#configuration 'Jump to Configuration'), an interactive editor covering many of GitLens' powerful settings. While for more advanced customizations, refer to the [GitLens settings docs](#gitlens-settings 'Jump to the GitLens settings docs') and edit your vscode [user settings](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings 'Open User settings').
