Git Blame annotations sidebar, inspired by JetBrains editors.
Install from Visual Studio Marketplace
With light theme:
With dark theme:
Commit information tooltip:
- 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.
You can either run this commands from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows), or use hotkeys.

Most Markdown extensions are bloated with commands and hotkeys I’d never need. In Just Blame I added only commands that I either use very often (like bold or italic), or can never remember the correct syntax (like tables). Other tools (like list autocomplete) make the writing comfortable.
Check out my other Visual Studio Code extensions:
- Emoji Console Log: insert
console.log()statements with a random emoji - Mini Markdown: minimalist kit for comfortable Markdown writing
- New File Now: create new files from the command palette
- Notebox: take quick notes in the bottom panel
- Todo Tomorrow: highlight
TODO,HACK,FIXME, etc. comments - Squirrelsong Light Theme: low contrast non-distracting light theme for web developers
- Squirrelsong Dark Theme: low contrast non-distracting dark theme for web developers
This software has been developed with lots of coffee, buy me one more cup to keep it going.
