# GitLens

GitLens **supercharges** the built-in Visual Studio Code Git capabilities. It helps you to **visualize code authorship** at a glance via Git blame annotations and code lens, **seamlessly navigate and explore** the history of a file or branch, **gain valuable insights** via powerful comparision commands, and so much more.

GitLens provides an unobtrusive blame annotation at the end of the current line, a status bar item showing the commit author and date of the current line, code lens showing the most recent commit and # of authors of the file and/or code block, and many commands for exploring commits and histories, comparing and navigating revisions, stash access, repository status, and more. GitLens is also [highly customizable](#extension-settings) to meet your specific needs — find code lens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting — no problem, it is easy to [turn them off or change how they behave](#extension-settings).

## Previews
#### Featuring code lens, file blame annotations, and navigation and exploration via quick pick menus

## Known Issues

- If the `Copy to * clipboard` commands don't work on Linux -- `xclip` needs to be installed. You can install it via `sudo apt-get install xclip`
- Visible whitespace causes issues ([vscode issue #11485](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11485)) with the `expanded` and `compact` blame annotation styles when using a non-monospace font -- set `"gitlens.advanced.toggleWhitespace.enabled": true` if you are using a non-monospace font
