CodeMaid VS vscode-gitlens

CodeMaid is an open-source extension that seeks to clean and simplify the code for several languages, like C#, C++, PHP, and JavaScript.

CodeMaid is one of my favorite extensions that without it I really cannot write code. CodeMaid features are:

Codemaid, https://www.codemaid.net, cleanup on save, cross team formatting practices, this allows me and my team mates to have the same formatting, its just a real sweet timesaver, makes your code pretty too.

for GitLens https://gitlens.amod.io/

The better version is to have something like gitlens installed into your IDE and have it dynamically render those git comments.

I learned the cli first, but I do use vscode's git integration for staging and committing. I also love gitlens's "commits by file / line" feature.

Hi. Vs code is pretty well integrated with git. There are built in git support and a couple other plugins. For example, the most popular git plugin for vs code is git lens. It also has powerful rebase editor (i guess, it is my favorite feature), which you can enable by following this guide. I personally realy enjoing Git Graph extension, which allow you to observe your git history in pretty similar to git kraken way. It also provide navigation facilities and some other useful features.

If you are going to use VSCode to manage your Git operations like merging, rebasing, etc., then I would highly recommend the GitLens plugin.

Might be worth creating an issue ticket if you can't get it solved: https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues

Redder color means changes were made very recently in that area. Again you can fully customize age thresholds, locations, the color of the most recent and least recent changes, etc., from the settings.

So here are some of my favorite GitLens features that I use regularly. You can find the full list of the features here.

Phone a friend. I recommend integrating git blame into your development environment I use the Git lens plugin which shows you, directly within files in a code editor, who authored certain file changes and the PR which can be helpful for quickly getting more context regarding decisions by looking at the associated Pull Request or having the opportunity to connect directly with the committer. Pair programming can be an effective way to debug and share knowledge. Similar, to the magic of figuring out the solution to a bug in the shower or overnight there is a phenomenon called rubber ducky debugging in which just explaining the issue to someone else (even an inanimate rubber duck) can help make the solution more obvious.
