The Best VS Code Extensions to Supercharge Your Git
Yes, there’s more than GitLens!
Yes, I know, we should all be terminal ninjas, memorizing every git command yadda yadda. Or, like the caveman, we could put two sticks together (or in this case, VS Code) and create fire (aka use the UI) to work with Git via amazing extensions that not only make working with Git easier but also extend Git with cool new features and superpowers!
1. Git Graph — The Popular One
Git Graph has to be the most visually appealing way to interact with Git in VS Code, seeing the commit tree like this can help a lot when performing more complex git operations.
It is very customizable and offers you granular control over the UI such as the graph style and branch colors.
You can click on any commit to view details and file changes, and you can even perform code reviews without leaving your IDE!
- Installs: 1.5 Million
- Pros: A user interface to match GitKraken or SourceTree but built directly into VS Code to avoid context switching.
