Whenever I click on a line of code, GitLens provides details about the author and the date it was written. Additionally, it offers insightful annotations and code history, making it easier to understand the evolution of the codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently, it encountered some bugs, such as writing the author and commit date to every line of code. I had to reinstall the extension to resolve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

According to my opinion gitlens is very useful when i want to know who written this code and we get all history regarding that code and we can also get pull request on github.

GitLens excels at providing detailed line-by-line blame annotations that unlock your Git history. It also goes above and above; if you hover over these annotations, a detailed view with interactive links opens, making it easy to interact with pull requests, issues, and Git references.

Git lens is the best tool to know who is the author of the code which you are looking at and the commit message of that code. I have used it in many places, we can install the extension in VScode and after its installation when we click on any piece of code it will show the name of the person, and the time when it was written.

Honestly, I haven't seen any demerits of it yet but it adds valuable information, to make it better they can show more information about the person who has written the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most fantastic feature of GitLens is quickly glimpsed into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed. In addition, it highlights changes so perfeclty that we can make our code changes live without any hesitation. The current and previous commit comparison feature is also unique!

I have not found any major drawback in GitLens so far! But I have observed it is a heavy extension that slows down the VS code editor. Of course, it can be improved with all more git features. But overall, it is a lovely extension that I use in VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A friend told me about it. It's a perfect visualization tool to see authorship within the editor, and that too in many ways which is really good. It has a very good feel, also the Visual File History is a great tool to see the scope of changes. Boots my producitvity a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great tool, but for beginners, it can be very overwhelming, especially when they are new to git. The pricing barrier might send some people away, but it's all worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
