GitLens

GitLens supercharges Git inside VS Code and unlocks untapped knowledge within each repository. It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and CodeLens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via rich visualizations and powerful comparison commands, and so much more.

GitLens

GitLens is an open-source extension for Visual Studio Code.

GitLens simply helps you better understand code. Quickly glimpse into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed. Jump back through history to gain further insights as to how and why the code evolved. Effortlessly explore the history and evolution of a codebase.

GitLens is powerful, feature rich, and highly customizable to meet your needs. Do you find CodeLens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting — no problem, quickly turn them off or change how they behave via the interactive GitLens Settings editor. For advanced customizations, refer to the GitLens docs and edit your user settings.

Here are just some of the features that GitLens provides,

effortless revision navigation (backwards and forwards) through the history of a file
an unobtrusive current line blame annotation at the end of the line showing the commit and author who last modified the line, with more detailed blame information accessible on hover
authorship CodeLens showing the most recent commit and number of authors at the top of files and/or on code blocks
a status bar blame annotation showing the commit and author who last modified the current line
on-demand file annotations in the editor, including
- blame — shows the commit and author who last modified each line of a file
- changes — highlights any local (unpublished) changes or lines changed by the most recent commit
- heatmap — shows how recently lines were changed, relative to all the other changes in the file and to now (hot vs. cold)

GitLens+ #

GitLens+ adds all-new, completely optional, features that enhance your current GitLens experience when you sign in with a free account. A free GitLens+ account gives you access to these new GitLens+ features on public repos, while a paid account allows you to use them on private repos. Learn more about GitLens+ features.

🛈 All other GitLens features are always accessible, without an account, and will continue to evolve and be invested in.

Does this affect existing features?

No, the introduction of GitLens+ has no impact on existing GitLens features, so you won't lose access to any of the GitLens features you know and love. In fact, we are heavily investing in enhancing and expanding the GitLens feature set. Creating an account simply gives you access to a subset of new features that will enable you to get even more out of Git in VS Code!

Commit Graph #

The Commit Graph helps you to easily visualize branch structure and commit history. Not only does it help you verify your changes, but also easily see changes made by others and when. Selecting a row within the graph will open in-depth information about a commit or stash in the new Commit Details view.

Visual File History view #

The Visual File History view allows you to quickly see the evolution of a file, including when changes were made, how large they were, and who made them.

Authors who have contributed changes to the file are on the left y-axis to create a swim-lane of their commits over time (the x-axis). Commit are plotted as color-coded (per-author) bubbles, whose size represents the relative magnitude of the changes.

Additionally, each commit's additions and deletions are visualized as color-coded, stacked, vertical bars, whose height represents the number of affected lines (right y-axis). Added lines are shown in green, while deleted lines are red.

Worktrees view #

Worktrees allow you to easily work on different branches of a repository simultaneously. You can create multiple working trees, each of which can be opened in individual windows or all together in a single workspace.

Configuration #

GitLens provides a rich interactive settings editor, an easy-to-use interface, to configure many of GitLens' powerful features. It can be accessed via the GitLens: Open Settings (gitlens.showSettingsPage) command from the Command Palette.

For more advanced customizations, refer to the settings documentation below.
