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
