Maintaining focus is critical. Any extra time spent on context switching or missing context can disrupt your flow. That’s why we built GitLens – the ultimate tool for making Git work for you. With GitLens you can zero in on the most important changes and effortlessly track code authorship while minimizing context switching.

Coding is a team sport. Collaborating early and often with rich relevant context is crucial for avoiding delays and delivering high quality code with little rework. GitLens gives you a crystal-clear view of your team’s work and progress so you can make better decisions as you work on code together.
