GitLens 18 Turns the Commit Graph Into an Agent Command Center

GitLens 18 expands the extension from a Git history viewer into a workspace for monitoring parallel development and AI coding agents across VS Code-based editors, including Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity. Its updated commit graph displays uncommitted changes from open worktrees alongside agent sessions, while integrated review, compose, and compare panels provide AI-assisted change summaries, commit creation, and branch-level comparisons. New agent-session and tree-map views show which agents are active, idle, or awaiting input and where they are modifying a repository in real time. Visual History now covers files, folders, and entire repositories, helping developers examine code evolution and contributor activity, while branch pinning, branch focus, and a detachable graph window improve navigation and monitoring. GitLens remains free through the VS Code Marketplace, has more than 40 million installs, and can be updated through the editor’s Extensions panel, with a pre-release channel available.
