ADCode

Inline git blame

Beside the line your cursor is on, it quietly says who last changed it and when.

When you would want it

Reading somebody else's code, the useful question is often not what a line does but why it was written. The commit that added it usually says.

Where to find it

How to use it, step by step

Off by default, because it puts text beside your cursor all day.

  1. Turn it on and click a line; the note appears at the end of it.

Why this beats the usual way

Other editors give you this through a stack of extensions that each need installing, updating, and reconciling with each other - and half of them reset when a colleague opens the project. ADCode ships these behaviours in the box, on by default, identical on every machine that opens your folder, and each one is a single switch away if you disagree.
