# GitLens
Provides Git CodeLens information (most recent commit, # of authors), on-demand inline blame annotations, status bar blame information, file and blame history explorers, 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 **file history explorer** (by default) with the all the file commits 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 (by default)
- Provides on-demand **inline blame annotations** with multiple styles
- Provides Git blame information about the selected line in the **status bar**
- Clicking on the status bar toggles Git blame annotations on/off (by default)
- Provides a Git **file history explorer** to visualize the history of a file
- Provides a Git **blame history explorer** to visualize the blame 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

## Known Issues
- CodeLens aren't updated properly after a file is saved: [vscode issue](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11546)
- Visible whitespace causes issue with blame overlay (currently fixed with a hack, but infrequently and randomly fails): [vscode issue](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11485)
