Just Blame for VS Code 🪲

When I switched to VS Code from JetBrains editors, I was missing the blame view. I couldn’t find any decent extension, so I made my own:

Just Blame light

Just Blame dark

Just Blame commit tooltip on hover

Here are the main features of the extension:

  • Very minimal and fast.
  • Heatmap like in JetBrains editors.
  • Supports light and dark modes out of the box, and doesn’t come with insanely bright colors by default.
  • Doesn’t use any resources until you turn on the annotations.
  • Doesn’t pollute the editor with too many commands and hotkeys.

Try it now in VS Code!

You can also look at the source code on GitHub.

Neat 👍 I like the jetbrains’ way more than vscode’s too 👍
