Visual Studio Code is being used by more and more people because it is relatively small and extensible.
Git code management is now almost standard, but VSCode’s Git configuration feels weak.
GitLens has been downloaded more than 8 million times.
The installation
In the marketplace, just search for Git, and the first few that come up are what you need.
Install the software on the page that is displayed.
When the icon shown above appears on the left side of your VSCode, GitLens is successfully installed.
When you enter for the first time, you will be prompted to set up.
In this case, you can use the default Settings.
Missing sidebar problem
Sometimes you might run into a situation where the left sidebar is missing.
This is because VSCode’s code view is used by default in the Settings.
To enable the GitLens Settings, enter.
Then go to the view and select the Configuration of GITLENS LAYOUT from the view.
Once you’ve done the above configuration, you can see the GitLens sidebar again on the left.
The above configuration selection will add a quick use of GitLens dialog box below the left sidebar.
