Almost all of us can agree that VS CODE is one of the best Code-Editor if not the BEST.
Let's make this VS CODE experience better with adding some amazing Extensions which I use in my day to day work and most of these extensions can be used by developers of all languages.
1. GitLens โ Git supercharged
GitLens is an open-source extension for Visual Studio Code. GitLens simply helps you better understand code. Quickly glimpse into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed. Jump back through history to gain further insights as to how and why the code evolved. Effortlessly explore the history and evolution of a codebase.
GitLens is powerful, feature rich, and highly customizable to meet your needs. Do you find CodeLens intrusive or the current line blame annotation distracting โ no problem, quickly turn them off or change how they behave via the interactive GitLens Settings editor. For advanced customizations, refer to the GitLens docs and edit your user settings.
