  • Came back to Git Graph after several months of using GitLens+
    2 projects | /r/vscode | 6 Mar 2023
    Quite a while ago, the GitLens+ plugin gained the Commit Graph feature--the same graph you see in GitKraken. Until then I had used Git Graph for visualizing my repositories and GitLens+ for git blame in the GUI. Since one plugin could now do both, the natural course of action was to remove the other--goodbye, Git Graph!
  • Why I love GitLens in my VsCode - Part 1
    2 projects | dev.to | 13 Feb 2023
    Btw, today I want to speak about something different, I love git and I love terminal, but sometimes I love having the info visualised appealingly and get info about the source control quickly. I work with VsCode typically, so some months ago I tried to find a solution for this editor that resolves what was said before. After googling and some testing, the result of my search was: GitLens. Now, I want to show you how it works and how it can improve your routine. So don't waste time and let's jump in it!

    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.
  • Replacing GitKraken

    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.
