# 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.

While GitLens is **powerful and feature rich**, it is 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').

Here are just some of the **features** that GitLens provides,

- an unobtrusive [**current line blame**](#current-line-blame- 'Jump to the Current Line Blame') annotation at the end of the line with detailed blame information accessible via [**hovers**](#hovers- 'Jump to Hovers')
- on-demand [**gutter blame**](#gutter-blame- 'Jump to the Gutter Blame') annotations, including a heatmap, for the whole file
- [**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
- 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)
- on-demand [**recent changes**](#recent-changes- 'Jump to the Recent Changes') annotations to highlight lines changed by the most recent commit
- a [**status bar blame**](#status-bar-blame- 'Jump to the Status Bar Blame') annotation showing author and date for the current line
- many rich Side Bar views
  - a [**_Repositories_ view**](#repositories-view- 'Jump to the Repositories view') to visualize, navigate, and explore Git repositories
  - 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
  - a [**_Line History_ view**](#line-history-view- 'Jump to the Line History view') to visualize, navigate, and explore the revision history of the selected lines of current file
  - a [**_Search Commits_ view**](#search-commits-view- 'Jump to the Search Commits view') to search and explore commit histories by message, author, files, id, etc
  - a [**_Compare_ view**](#compare-view- 'Jump to the Compare view') to visualize comparisons between branches, tags, commits, and more
- 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')
