A fast, lightweight Git explorer for VS Code. Browse history, blame, branch diffs, pull requests, and GitHub Actions runs — all from a single side-panel, without leaving your editor.
Think of it as a lean alternative to heavier Git UIs: opinionated defaults, no bloat, no login required to get started.
Features
Commit history — searchable log with author, date, and file-touch counts.
Inline blame — toggle author/date/summary decorations at the end of every line.
Branch diff — pick any two refs and see the file-by-file diff in VS Code's native diff editor.
File history — see every commit that touched the current file.
Working tree — stage, unstage, and diff changes with one click.
Pull requests — list, open, and create PRs against GitHub without leaving VS Code.
GitHub Actions — see workflow runs, statuses, and live logs for the current branch.
gh CLI device-flow auth — one-click login using your existing GitHub CLI setup.
Glass UI — clean, dense layout that fits the VS Code aesthetic.
Getting started
Install the extension.
Open any folder that contains a Git repo.
Click the RepoLens icon in the Activity Bar.
That's it — no account, no config.
For PR and Actions features, install the GitHub CLI and run gh auth login (or use the in-app device-flow button).
