GitLens

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


Features

  • Provides CodeLens on code blocks:
    • Recent Change - author and date of the most recent check-in for that block

      Clicking on the CodeLens opens a Blame history 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

  • Provides on-demand inline blame annotations with multiple styles
  • Provides Git blame information about the selected line in the status bar
  • Provides a Git blame history explorer to visualize the history of a file or block
  • Provides ability to compare diffs with the working tree as well as with previous versions
  • Provides many configuration settings to allow the customization of almost all Features
