# GitLens

> Explore Git history, inline blame annotations, branches, and stashes directly in the Paradime Code IDE with the built-in GitLens panel and editor overlays.

GitLens brings rich Git history and code authorship into the Code IDE. Open it from the dedicated icon in the left icon strip, or read history inline in the editor.

## In the editor

* **Inline blame**: the author and age of the current line appear at the end of the line. Toggle it with **Toggle Blame Annotations** (`⌥B`) from the right-click menu.
* **File Annotations** and **File History** are also available from the [context menu](/products/code-ide/write-code/context-menu#git-and-history).

## In the GitLens panel

The panel groups Git insights into sections:

| Section              | What it shows                                            |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Line History**     | The commits that touched the current line.               |
| **File History**     | How the current file has evolved over time.              |
| **Search & Compare** | Find commits and compare references across your project. |
| **Repositories**     | The repository connected to your workspace.              |
| **Commits**          | The commit history of your current branch.               |
| **Branches**         | Local and remote branches.                               |
| **Remotes**          | Configured Git remotes.                                  |
| **Stashes**          | Stashed changes.                                         |
| **Tags**             | Git tags.                                                |
| **Contributors**     | Who has contributed to the repository.                   |

<Info>
  GitLens works the same in both [Git Lite](/products/code-ide/version-control/git-lite) and [Git Advanced](/products/code-ide/version-control/git-advanced). For a deeper walkthrough of File History, Line History, and Search & Compare, see the [GitLens guide](/guides/working-with-git/gitlens).
