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.

or read the change log

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  • changes — highlights any local (unpublished) changes or lines changed by the most recent commit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)
• many rich Side Bar views
  • a Commit Details view to provide rich details for commits and stashes
  • a Commits view to visualize, explore, and manage Git commits
  • a Repositories view to visualize, explore, and manage Git repositories
  • a File History view to visualize, navigate, and explore the revision history of the current file or just the selected lines of the current file
  • a Line History view to visualize, navigate, and explore the revision history of the selected lines of the current file
  • a Branches view to visualize, explore, and manage Git branches
  • a Remotes view to visualize, explore, and manage Git remotes and remote branches

  • commits — history and search
  • stashes
  • status — current branch and working tree status
• a user-friendly interactive rebase editor to easily configure an interactive rebase session
• terminal links — ctrl+click on autolinks in the integrated terminal to quickly jump to more details for commits, branches, tags, and more

All-new, powerful, additional features that enhance your GitLens experience.

GitLens+ features are free for local and public repos, no account required, while upgrading to GitLens Pro gives you access on private repos.

All other GitLens features can always be used on any repo.

No, the introduction of GitLens+ features 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. Additionally, GitLens+ features are freely available to everyone for local and public repos, while upgrading to GitLens Pro gives you access on private repos.

The Commit Graph helps you easily visualize and keep track of all work in progress. 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.

Use the rich commit search to find exactly what you're looking for. It's powerful filters allow you to search by a specific commit, message, author, a changed file or files, or even a specific code change.

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.

Use it to quickly find when the most impactful changes were made to a file or who best to talk to about file changes and more.

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 help you multitask by minimizing the context switching between branches, allowing you to easily work on different branches of a repository simultaneously.

Avoid interrupting your work in progress when needing to review a pull request. Simply create a new worktree and open it in a new VS Code window, all without impacting your other work.

You can create multiple working trees, each of which can be opened in individual windows or all together in a single workspace.

GitLens provides customizable menu and toolbar contributions to put you in control over where GitLens' commands are shown. The easiest way to configure these settings is via the GitLens interactive settings editor.

For example, if you uncheck the Add to the editor group toolbar you will see the following items removed from the toolbar:

You can also expand each group to control each area more granularly.

GitLens supports user-defined modes for quickly toggling between sets of settings.

• Adds Switch Mode command (gitlens.switchMode) to quickly switch the active mode
• Adds a Zen mode which for a zen-like experience, disables many visual features
  • Adds Toggle Zen Mode command (gitlens.toggleZenMode) to toggle Zen mode
• Adds a Review mode which for reviewing code, enables many visual features
  • Adds Toggle Review Mode command (gitlens.toggleReviewMode) to toggle Review mode
• Adds the active mode to the status bar (optional, on by default)

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.

GitLens is highly customizable and provides many configuration settings to allow the personalization of almost all features.
