GitLens sets itself apart from other Git tools through its deep level of integration, versatility, and ease of use. GitLens sits directly within your editor, reducing context switching and promoting a more efficient workflow. We know Git is hard and strive to make it as easy as possible while also going beyond the basics with rich visualizations and step-by-step guidance and safety, just to name a few.
Enhance your workflows with powerful Git functionality like in-editor blame annotations, hovers, CodeLens, and more—all fully customizable within VS Code.
