## Introducing GitLens+

GitLens+ adds all-new, completely optional, features that enhance your current GitLens experience when you sign in with a free account. A free GitLens+ account gives you access to these new GitLens+ features on public repos, while a paid account allows you to use them on private repos.

🛈 All other GitLens features are always accessible, without an account, and will continue to evolve and be invested in.

The first new GitLens+ features are the Visual File History and Worktrees.

## Does this affect existing features?

No, the introduction of GitLens+ has no impact on existing GitLens features, so you won't lose access to any of the GitLens features you know and love. In fact, we are heavily investing in enhancing and expanding the GitLens feature set. Creating an account simply gives you access to a subset of new features that will enable you to get even more out of Git in VS Code!

## More GitLens+ features coming soon

Additional features like a visual commit graph and rich integrations with hosting services like GitHub Enterprise are coming soon.
