it makes collaboration and version control easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not much to dislike. i would prefer if there was something that showed you the actual commands as you ran it, so you can learn while you used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

It will allow us to see the latest changes in the branch.

We can compare the latest changes with last code.

Direct options given once you start using git lens like - merge code , stash code , add code , commit code.

It helps to resolve the merge conflict. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we are not able to stop the command by using ctr+c or any other shortcut.

There is no feature to clear the cache of last branch.

It does not have autocomplete feature. 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.

It is an open-source extension, ideal for working with more people on the same code. It has the function of providing specific information about changes in Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To work on this extension as a team, it is necessary to do it in a very coordinated manner, as some changes can "override" those of a colleague if not done properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really helps to compare the code, giving insights to the whole timeline of even a single stack, line or even letter of code changed. Helped me in understanding and for peer review through it. Code versioning also becomes easy through it. Very helpful tool/extension for budding software developers to understand others code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Should include more git options like staging and commiting through it. It could be more intuitive in terms of IDE support. Oftens becomes confusing to comare how it pops up in screen respective to IDEs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very helpful when we code. Gitlens will tell who changed a particular line and can also navigate to the PR. So I'll be able to understand why a line was written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its pro features are excellent. But it is paid. The visualisation feature could have been free. Sometimes it takes some time to load. Apart from that, Love the extension Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using GitLens extension in my VScode for the past month and it has helped me a lot and avoided me to go back to the commit history to check when and who wrote a particular line of code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike, it a must have if you are using VSCode like Tools to make your work easy. It is really helpful to understand large code bases quickly and the contributors work to the code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very helpful extension for developers using VSCode Editor.

Easy to trace last commit details.

You can preview the last changes in each line within the file with a single click.

On hover, you can see the last changes made by whom with their name & DateTime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when you update a code while you move the cursor, on hover the details are really frustrating to focus on.

On some machines, it works differently due to compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
