VS Code

Blamely for Visual Studio Code is distributed as a VS Code extension. Install it from Microsoft’s marketplace or from Open VSX if you use a VS Code–compatible build that pulls from there.

Install

1. Open VS Code.
2. Open Extensions (View → Extensions or Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X).
3. Search for Blamely.
4. Click Install on the official Blamely extension.
5. Reload or restart VS Code if the editor asks you to.

Web / direct links — You can also open the listing in a browser:

• Blamely on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
• Open VSX — same search if your distribution uses Open VSX.

Verify

1. Open a folder that is a git repository.
2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run a command that starts with Blamely (e.g. focus or show panel — exact wording follows the published extension).
3. Confirm the Blamely icon or view appears in the Activity Bar when the workspace is loaded.

Settings

Open Settings and search Blamely to toggle options the extension exposes (e.g. gutter or status integration, depending on version).

Update and uninstall

• Update — Extensions view → Blamely → update if available, or Check for Updates from the extensions menu.
• Uninstall — Extensions → Blamely → Uninstall.
