WhoDidIt - Git Line History

Ever wondered who wrote a specific line of code and when? WhoDidIt answers that instantly — right from your editor's context menu.

What It Does

Right-click any line of code → select "Who introduced this code?" → instantly see every git commit that added, modified, or removed that exact line.

No terminal. No browser. No context switching.

Key Features

• Single Line — Click any line to see its full commit history
• Multi-Line Selection — Select multiple lines to find all commits that touched any of them
• Whole File — Select all (Ctrl+A) to see every commit that changed the file
• Content-Based Matching — Finds commits by actual code content, not line numbers — accurate even when lines shift
• File-Specific Diff Links — Click to view the exact file diff on GitHub or Azure DevOps (not the full commit)
• Copy Commit Hash — One-click copy for any commit in the results

How To Use

1. Open any file tracked by git
2. Place your cursor on a line (or select multiple lines)
3. Right-click → "Who introduced this code?"
4. Browse the commit list, click any row to see details and a diff link

• Visual Studio 2022 (17.0+) or later
