FAQ
Is this in beta?
- Someone said
v0.2.21
is a stable release. Subsequent versions were released with
tons of features
requested in e.g. open issues. Those changes are considered experimental so feel
free to open an issue for bugs or new features.
Where is the inline blame?
- Inline blame must be enabled in settings. It's enabled on the far right side
by default. It can be set to be displayed on the left side instead. It's not
shown while word-wrap is enabled.
Why isn't inline blame aligned?
- This should be fixed. If not, there could be a different extension installed
that is causing conflicts. Or it could be another bug to be reported.
How to open commits online with multiple repositories and links?
What about changes processed outside of IDE?
- There is a setting that does or does not start a new process for blame. If on,
changes outside of the IDE should be picked up if the file is in the active
editor when it's changed. Feel free to file a bug if and how you think this
should be more robust.
Is there any documentation? Here are a few resources, starting from the most up
to date on top.
Where is the Git Blame menu?
- It's only available when a file is open. In order to use the sub-menus the
file must reside on disk somewhere. The active file is the seed for many of the
available menus. The git directory of that file will be used for some of the
listings. That's why an active file needs to be available.
