@gitlens 18 is LIVE!
If your repo is starting to feel chaotic from coding agents, parallel work, and worktrees everywhere…
GitLens 18 is probably the cleanest workflow upgrade you can make right now.
Better Git workflows for the agent era.

I would just like to remind people that there are simpler ways to get the Pull Requests via the API. Things like *cough* @GitKraken and @gitlens
GitLens retweeted
Thank you @GitKraken for making it easier to see where any branch came from within @gitlens

I can't believe that I've had @gitlens for ages but never used most features aside blame annotations on hover, commit graph and occasional diff views for files.
I just went through the docs and found out I can
- Create PRs
- Generate detailed commits with AI
- + lots more
ALT Gitlens

I think the main reason @gitlens looks so good is because they include the avatar of the user inside the circle of the commit.
That way I don't have to drag my eyes all the way to the right to see the name of who made the commit.
I even set my gravatar to be a more vibrant color so I can easily see my commits

@gitlens is lowkey clutch...fr
ever been stuck mid-rebase or untangling 100+ commits after a messy upstream pull?
yeah, same.
it actually lets you see what git is doing - commits, branches, blame, all of it
if git trees confuse you, just try it
drop ur thoughts below👇

With a good @Code extension (*cough* @gitlens) or desktop GUI (*cough* @GitKraken), worktrees are even easier to get started with.
Stop stashing. Use git worktrees.
git worktree add ../my-project-main main
cd ../my-project-main
git worktree remove ../my-project-main
Three commands. Same Git history, separate folders. Works great for AI tools running parallel tasks too.

If you work with Git daily and don’t use GitLens yet…
you’re missing out. One of the best dev extensions out there 🔥
Code history, blame, commits, everything right inside the editor. Super useful for developers.

Just (re)discovered @gitlens while ive been playing with @cursor_ai - forgot how muched i love this tool.
Blame, history, context, authorship. It really helpos with my.... ahem.... messy repos. Being able to see the full story in an easy to read visual.
Any contenders do people prefer @gitlense or something like @GitKraken

From 336K to 44M installs. @GitLens hit a milestone that shows what happens when you solve real problems for developers.
We started with a simple idea: make Git history visual, intuitive, and actually useful inside VS Code. Eight years later, developers have spoken.
Thanks for trusting us with your Git workflow. 🙌
GitLens retweeted
Nah @gitlens devs cooked heavy 😭🙌
It’s been saving me a whole lot of stress lately.

"MCP is described as USB for AI. Just like you can plug all these different devices into your computer and as long as they talk USB, your computer can access them and gets all these new capabilities.
Well, MCP is the same exact thing for AI. So you can plug into your AI agent or your model and get these new capabilities that aren't built by Anthropic or OpenAI, they're built by everyone else, to give the capabilities there."
