  • Commit History Drill-Down: Expand any related file to see the exact commit messages that link them together.
  • One-Click Diff View: Click on any commit message to instantly see a side-by-side diff of what changed in that specific commit.

How to Use

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Open a project that uses Git.
  3. Click the new Star icon (Code Kin) in the Activity Bar on the left.
  4. Open any file in your repository.
  5. The "Related Code" panel will automatically show you its kin!
