Easily Track Git Actions in VS Code

January 24, 2025
GitLens for VS Code V16.2 improves visibility into ongoing Git actions, making it easier to manage merges, rebases, and conflict resolutions.

GitKraken is a suite of developer tools built around Git, a popular version control system. It offers a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows developers to interact with Git repositories visually instead of relying on the command line. This simplifies complex Git workflows like resolving merge conflicts and visualizing code history, making Git more accessible and efficient for developers of all experience levels.

The GitLens for VS Code V16.2 release (available as part of GitKraken) adds new Git action states to the Home View that shows when Git actions (such as merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert) are paused due to conflicts, or when you're in the middle of a rebase or merge. By displaying clear status updates, the indicators reduce confusion and help users resume, skip, or abort Git operations with minimal friction.

GitLens for VS Code is available as part of GitKraken which is available as Cloud-based or On-Premise options, licensed per user as an annual license which includes free updates and technical support. See our GitKraken licensing page for full details.
