While using Eclipse and IntelliJ for Java development I got used to seeing the annotation lines in edit mode right next to the changes I'm working on. Well, apparently Visual Studio always opens the annotations to a separate uneditable window.

So the question is: is it possible (eg. with a plugin) to show the annotations (git in this case) in the editing view similarly as Eclipse and IntelliJ allow.

  • what do you mean by editable? It's in the history, you cannot change it. – max630 Mar 03 '18 at 18:21
  • I don't mean that the history should be editable, just that I would see the annotations (for those lines that are unchanged in the working copy) in the editing view instead of a separate view. – Jeffed Mar 04 '18 at 04:03

    Don't think this is available for VS. There's a plugin that does this for VS Code though called Git Lens: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens#current-line-blame – Philip Pittle Mar 07 '18 at 19:47
  • Thanks for the tip @PhilipPittle. I do also use Visual Studio Code, so that's useful. It would be nice to get a similar thing for VS too though, as that's what I use for frontend development. – Jeffed Mar 14 '18 at 07:35
  • Haven't used this tool, but it might have some support for git diff: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=HippoCampSoftwareLtd.CodeLineage#overview – Philip Pittle Mar 14 '18 at 15:50
