"Best tool to take control of Git"

5/5

What do you like best about GitLens?

It helps me to demonstrate file history, work trees, line blaming etc. Using different branches simultaneously helps me a lot to take speed and finish my projects before the deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLens?

It would be better if we could demonstrate branches visually. In this way, I need to switch between multiple tools, which leads to time losing time and concentration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
