🚀 Git Search for VS Code: Unravel the Mysteries of Your Codebase! 🔍The Lowdown: Ever wonder who altered that crucial line of code and when? With Git Search, you're just a few clicks away from unveiling the mysteries of your codebase. Just cross your fingers you're not the digital detective hunting your own coding missteps! 😉
🌟 What's Git Search? Working with legacy code or unfamiliar projects often presents a host of challenges, particularly when trying to decipher what's happening and what has transpired. Frequently, I find that commit messages are either missing or lack sufficient detail. In the best-case scenario, they might point to a Jira ticket, but as we know, that doesn't always shed much light on the issue. In the worst cases, I encounter unhelpful commit messages like "fix." Regularly, there's a need to understand how a specific variable or function was created or used. Typically, this would involve using git log -S in the terminal and manually opening each commit to examine the changes. This process can be quite tedious. To streamline this task, I created this extension. 🎸 Why It's a Game Changer: Rapid Git Log Searches: Dive into your code's history with the speed of a hot rod. Unearth the "who" and "when" behind every change, fast. Direct Commit Access: Found something intriguing? Jump straight from your search results to the actual commit in your remote repository.
