inline annotations

Open mfulton26 opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

I've tried using this extension instead of GitLens. It has been nice. I like the simplicity. However, I'm going back to GitLens simply because the inline blame annotations and the hover for details are so useful but it's pretty much the only feature of GitLens I use on a regular basis.

I'd love to get support by this extension for similar inline annotations as GitLens.

Hey Mark! Thanks for the feature request.

It looks like adding a hoverMessage to the setDecorations call in view.ts could be a path forward with something like this.

Vscode is also implementing something very similar in the most recent version.

What information and/or links would be expected?

I am mainly interested in who last touched the line along with the commit message (summary + body).

wow, yes, the VSCode experimental support is what I am looking for; thank you!

I'm in the same boat: i only use GitLens for the inline blame annotations and rich hovers.

I like the simplicity of Git Blame, but it doesn't provide what I need.

I have added a simplified version of the inline git blame hover message to the extension. It can be enabled by changing the gitblame.extendedHoverInformation setting.
