  9. > 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.
  10. <br />
  11. # GitLens
  12. GitLens is a free, [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://amod.io "Learn more about Eric").
  13. 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.
  14. Here are just some of the features that GitLens provides,
  15. - a [*GitLens* explorer](#gitlens-explorer "Jump to the GitLens explorer") to navigate and explore repositories or file histories
  16. - an on-demand [*GitLens Results* view](#gitlens-results-view "Jump to the GitLens Results view") to explore commit searches, visualize comparisons between branches, tags, commits, and more
  17. - 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
  18. - an unobtrusive [current line blame](#current-line-blame "Jump to the Current Line Blame") annotation at the end of the line
  19. - on-demand [gutter blame](#gutter-blame "Jump to the Gutter Blame") annotations, including a heatmap, for the whole file
  20. - detailed blame information accessible via [hovers](#hovers "Jump to the Hovers")
  21. - on-demand [recent changes](#recent-changes "Jump to the Recent Changes") annotations to highlight lines changed by the most recent commit
  22. - a [status bar blame](#status-bar-blame "Jump to the Status Bar Blame") annotation showing author and date for the current line
  23. - [commit search](#commit-search "Jump to the Commit Search") &mdash; by message, author, filename, commit id, or code changes
  24. - many powerful commands for exploring commits and histories, comparing and navigating revisions, stash access, repository status, etc
  25. - and so much [more](#features "Jump to Features")
  26. 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, a WYSIWYG 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").
