NameWhat it doesWhy helpful for checking commits / trees
GitLensEnhances built‑in Git support: inline blame, commit graph, file history, authorship, etc. GitKraken+2gitlens.amod.io+2You can see a visual graph of commit history, check who made what changes, when. Very handy to determine “best commits” or compare contributions.
Git GraphShows a graphical history of your repository — commits, branches, merges, etc. gdevops.frama.ioUseful for seeing branching and merging structure, visually seeing where work diverged and what commits are where.
Git Tree CompareAllows you to diff your working tree against a branch, tag, or commit in a tree‑view form. VsixHub.com+1Helps you see all file‑level changes at once in a tree view when comparing versions. Good for pull requests / merge previews.
RepoTreeGenerates a visual tree representation of directories/files in your repo. GitHubIf you want to see structure of the project (which files/folders exist) easily, helps with navigation and code review.
Project TreeLets you maintain a tree layout of the project in explorer pane; remembers open files/tabs etc. GitHubUseful for getting consistency in how different team members see structure, also helps navigate large projects.

🔧 If you meant full Visual Studio (Windows, .NET)

If you meant Visual Studio (not VS Code), there are things like:

  • Git Tools / Git Extensions for Visual Studio — built‑in or plugin‑add ons that show history, diffs, authorship.

  • SourceTree or TortoiseGit — external GUIs that can show visual trees of commits, branches; you can use them alongside Visual Studio.

  • CodeLens (in Visual Studio) — shows in the code editor who changed lines, when, etc.
