GitLens

Provides Git blame and blame history CodeLens for many supported Visual Studio Code languages (in theory -- the language must support symbol searching).

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

• Blame - number of authors of a block and the most prominent author (if there are more than one)

  Clicking on the CodeLens toggles Git blame overlay

Requirements

Must be using Git and it must be in your path.
