GitLens expands Git history and authorship visibility, while Peacock differentiates workspaces with custom colors and Path Intellisense speeds up file-path entry. EditorConfig enforces shared formatting standards, Better Comments and Todo Tree organize annotations and outstanding tasks, and Import Cost reveals dependency sizes to support web-performance decisions. Code Spell Checker detects typos in comments and strings, Polacode produces shareable images of code snippets, and REST Client enables API requests and response inspection directly within the editor.
