These are my favorite VS Code extensions, without them I would be much less productive! What are your favorites? It would be great to discover new ones to help supercharge my workflow. Clicking on any entry shows you the changes per commit! This is great because now you can commit like a champ and still have an easy way to your changes (to make sure your pull request is perfect!) File HistoryĮver start updating a file in your project and spot something crazy? You want to find out who the heck did this ASAP!!? Gitlens has a File History section that shows you a list of changes to the current file. GitLens has a great feature that lets you easily compare your current branch to main to see the differences between both. This is obviously risky, especially when I have to switch branches or pull down new changes! I have a habit of not commiting changes because it's just so darn easy to see the changes I've made in the Source Control tab. With Gitlens, it’s so easy to view code authorship, check commit number, view changes between the last commit and existing changes and so on. Gitlens is the visual studio code plugin to supercharge git capabilities. This extension is a Git powerhouse! It lets you navigate changes, see inline blames, compare branches, and even shows you the last commit of the current line! There are just too many features to list, you have to check it out for yourself! Here are my top 5 picks of must-have visual studio code extensions. This is my favorite theme for VSCode! It's easy on the eyes, well balanced, nothing too crazy and nothing too boring.
