Code Lens for Git in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Update 3
May 23, 2014Jean-Marc Prieur
Summary
Introduced the preview of CodeLens Team indicators for Git in Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 CTP1. Initially, this provides 'Authors' and 'Change' indicators computed client-side for any Git repository (local, TfGit, GitHub, etc.). This differs from the server-side computation for Team Foundation Server Version Control (TfVC). Future work item indicators are planned. The post details the user experience, including the details popup for commits, contextual actions, and the commit details view in Team Explorer. It also notes that indicator refresh is manual in this CTP.
