# GitLens

Provides Git information (most recent commit, # of authors) in CodeLens, on-demand inline blame annotations, a blame explorer, and commands to compare changes with the working tree or previous versions.

## Features

Provides two CodeLens on code blocks:
- **Recent Change** - author and date of the most recent check-in
  > Clicking on the CodeLens opens a **Blame explorer** with the commits and changed lines in the right pane and the commit (file) contents on the left
- **Authors** - number of authors of a block and the most prominent author (if there are more than one)
  > Clicking on the CodeLens toggles Git blame annotations on/off
