Extension Details

Git Abilities provides

• Git blame: The selected lines in the editor will be passed to git blame, and a notification will be shown with the author's name and email, and the commit's date and message. A button is included which opens the blame on GitHub, GitLab, or whichever host your repository uses.
• Open Selection in Browser: The current file is opened in the browser, highlighting the line(s) that were selected.
• Open Selection in Browser (origin/HEAD): The current file is opened in the browser, at the default branch (usually master or main), highlighting the line(s) that were selected.
• Copy Link to Selection: A link to the current file is copied to the clipboard
• Open Selection in Browser (origin/HEAD): A link to the current file, at the default branch (usually master or main), is copied to the clipboard.

The extension supports both GitLab and GitHub.

Usage

Use one of the following to run Git Abilities:

• Select the Editor → Git Abilities menu item
• Choose Git Abilities from the context menu
• Open the command palette and type one of the commands listed above

Note: if you have commits that have not been pushed to the remote repository, the file can not be opened in the browser since the commit will not exist yet. Instead you can use the (origin/HEAD) version of the command
