BlameFlow

GitLens. Lean. Fast. Free.

Inline blame and file history without heavy sidebars or cloud features.

Why This Exists

BlameFlow is built as a privacy-first, local-first alternative to GitLens. The extension keeps core workflow data on the user's machine and focuses on the advanced workflow gaps documented in the NexForge build tracker.

Features

• Inline blame
• Debounced Git calls
• File history QuickPick
• Commit detail panel
• Dirty-file protection

Commands

• blameflow.toggle
• blameflow.fileHistory
• blameflow.commitDetails

Privacy

This extension is designed for local-first operation. Core data is stored in VS Code storage or workspace .vscode files where the feature explicitly supports Git sharing. No cloud service is required for the free v1.0 release.

Commercial Roadmap

The free v1.0 product is intended to be useful on its own. Paid features should be added only where they expand team workflows without weakening the local-first promise.
