GitLens Interactive Code History

Last updated: July 2025


 

Understanding code history in large repositories can be challenging, especially with multiple branches and contributors. GitLens helps simplify this process by providing tools that surface meaningful context:

  • Commit Graph – Visualize the structure of your repository.
  • GitLens Inspect – Drill into file and line-level history.
  • Inline Blame and Hovers – Quickly see who changed what and when.

These features make it easier to navigate your repository, understand changes, and make informed decisions about your code.
