One can now simply add "gitlens.mode.active": "zen" to settings.json with Gitlens version 9.5.1 to disable the annoying in-line features.

Tested with VScode 1.31.1 on Windows and Mac.

Solution 5 - Visual Studio-Code

The name of the setting that you're looking for is called, Git Code Lens.

As mentioned in previous replies, there are several options available in the User or Workspace Settings Configuration. In more recent versions of VS Code, you can more easily access those settings from the menu.

  • On Windows/Linux - File > Preferences > Settings
  • On macOS - Code > Preferences > Settings

To update this setting for all projects, Navigate under User Settings > Extensions > GitLens. I chose to disable Git Code Lens entirely by deselecting the checkbox for Code Lens: Enabled; however, you may only want to disable certain features or only at the workspace level. I have included a screenshot including some of the settings below.
