# GitLens

[GitLens](https://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](https://www.amod.io 'Learn more about Eric').
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.
GitLens is **powerful**, **feature rich**, and [highly customizable](#gitlens-settings- 'Jump to the GitLens settings docs') to meet your needs. Do you find code lens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting &mdash; no problem, quickly turn them off or change how they behave via the interactive [_GitLens Settings_ editor](#configuration 'Jump to Configuration'). For advanced customizations, refer to the [GitLens docs](#gitlens-settings- 'Jump to the GitLens settings') and edit your [user settings](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings 'Open User settings').
Here are just some of the **features** that GitLens provides,

  - a [**_Commits_ view**](#commits-view- 'Jump to the Commits view') to visualize, explore, and manage Git commits  - a [**_File History_ view**](#file-history-view- 'Jump to the File History view') to visualize, navigate, and explore the revision history of the current file or just the selected lines of the current file and explore the revision history of the selected lines of current file  - a [**_Branches_ view**](#branches-view- 'Jump to the Branches view') to visualize, explore, and manage Git branches  - a [**_Remotes_ view**](#remotes-view- 'Jump to the Remotes view') to visualize, explore, and manage Git remotes and remote branches  - a [**_Stashes_ view**](#stashes-view- 'Jump to the Stashes view') to visualize, explore, and manage Git stashes  - a [**_Tags_ view**](#tags-view- 'Jump to the Tags view') to visualize, explore, and manage Git tags  - a [**_Contributors_ view**](#contributors-view- 'Jump to the Contributors view') to visualize, navigate, and explore contributors  - a [**_Search & Compare_ view**](#search-&-compare-view- 'Jump to the Search & Compare view') to search and explore commit histories by message, author, files, id, etc, or visualize comparisons between branches, tags, commits, and more
- on-demand [**gutter blame**](#gutter-blame- 'Jump to the Gutter Blame') annotations, including a heatmap, for the whole file- on-demand [**gutter changes**](#gutter-changes- 'Jump to the Gutter Changes') annotations to highlight any local (unpublished) changes or lines changed by the most recent commit- 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)- a custom, user-friendly [**interactive rebase editor**](#interactive-rebase-editor- 'Jump to the Interactive Rebase Editor') to more easily configure an interactive rebase session- a [**Git Command Palette**](#git-command-palette- 'Jump to the Git Command Palette') to provide guided (step-by-step) access to many common Git commands and their flags- many [**powerful commands**](#navigate-and-explore- 'Jump to the Navigate and Explorer') for exploring commits and histories, comparing and navigating revisions, stash access, repository status, etc- user-defined [**modes**](#modes- 'Jump to the Modes') for quickly toggling between sets of settings- and so much [**more**](#and-more- 'Jump to More')
