Mini Blame

A lightning-fast, lightweight Git blame extension for VS Code. It provides instant inline Git history, detailed hover popups, and quick actions without the massive memory footprint of larger Git extensions.

Features

  • Inline Ghost Text: Instantly see the author, date, and commit message of the current line fading unobtrusively into the background.
  • Status Bar Integration: Keep track of the active line's Git history right from the VS Code Status Bar.
  • Rich Hover Details: Hover over the inline text to see the full commit subject, body, and exact diff changes for that specific line.
  • Quick Actions: Easily copy Commit SHAs, PR numbers, or Branch names directly from the hover popup.
  • Native Diff Viewer: Instantly open a side-by-side comparison of the file's previous revision with a single click.
  • Time Travel: Browse the entire file exactly as it existed during that historical commit.

Why Mini Blame?

Designed for high performance, Mini Blame relies purely on local shell commands (git blame, git show) rather than spinning up heavy webviews, external APIs, or background indexers. It gives you exactly the Git data you need, right when you need it.


Built for developers who want speed and simplicity.
