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
