About GitLens
GitLens unlocks the untapped knowledge within each repository to help visualize code authorship by leveraging CodeLens and Git blame to expose your Git history at every line of code. Seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via powerful comparison commands, and unleash the full power of Git without breaking your development flow. While GitLens is powerful and feature-rich, it is also highly customizable to meet your specific needs — find code lens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting — no problem, it is quick and easy to turn them off or change how they behave. At the end of each line of code, you’ll find an unobtrusive current line blame annotation showing the commit and author who last modified the line. Check out the status bar blame to see similar information.
