Idea like git blame annotations

SB - Simply Blame

Idea like git blame annotations for VS Code!

Steps to use

1. Install the extension
2. Press Alt + B on the text editor
3. You will see who to blame

Screenshots

Settings

• Enable/disable a command to open a blame file in a new text editor tab, disabled by default.
  • The enabled command will show up on the context menu of the active text editor tab.
• Configure and change colors of a heat map color scheme. Top being hot and bottom being cool.
  • Dark and Light theme is supported. Both theme colors are editable.
• Change blame date format.
  • System will use the locale used by the VS Code.
  • Or you can choose other pre existing date formats.

Change of the heat map colors from light to dark and vise versa require a restart of the VS Code.

I was taken here from the VSCode notification button. Let me know what information to share.

Uneven edge

Looks like the extension doesn't handle dates with 1 and 2 digits for the day and month correctly:

Enhancements

Hi master, I very like your ext. May i raise two enhancements?

1. blamer name length with not-equal length, that looks wired.
2. date setting. my project is a very old project, I hope i can see a long early date code blame.
   

Does not work (On Win11)

Command failed: cd /c:/src/app/ && git blame c:\src\app\src\components\Component.tsx
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

It seems to not work on my Win 10 machine.

Most likely due to the mixed use of forward and backward slashes.

Fails on files that include dashes

Running on a file named /Users/xavier/src/dpm-scripts/dpm-utils.py the extension tries to execute this command:

Command failed: cd /Users/xavier/src/dpm-scripts/dpm- && git blame utils.py /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /Users/xavier/src/dpm-scripts/dpm-: No such file or directory
