Blamely ships as an IDE plugin (extension) for the editors below. You install one plugin per product — the same core idea (AI vs human attribution) everywhere, with UI tailored to each platform.
What you are installing
- A local component that watches editor activity and git state in your workspace.
- No Blamely cloud login is required to track in the IDE; optional git notes / hooks are under your control.
- State and reports live under
.git/blamelyin each repository (see How it works).
Requirements
- Git — The project should be a git checkout (or new repo with
git init). Blamely is built around commit and blame workflows. - Supported IDE — Match your environment to one of the guides below.
- Permissions — Marketplaces may ask for standard “workspace / file” access so the plugin can read project files and integrate with the editor.
Plugins by editor
Open the guide for your IDE. Each page walks through install, verification, updates, and uninstall for that product.
| Product | Documentation | Typical install path |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Studio Code | VS Code guide | Extensions → search Blamely → Install, or Visual Studio Marketplace |
| Cursor | Cursor guide | Extensions → search Blamely → Install, or same Marketplace listing as VS Code |
| JetBrains IDEs | JetBrains guide | Settings → Plugins → Marketplace → Blamely → restart |
| Antigravity | Antigravity guide | Extensions / plugins UI → search Blamely → Install, or Visual Studio Marketplace if your build uses it |
After install
- Restart the IDE if the marketplace prompts you.
- Open a git project and follow the Quick start.
- If the Blamely window does not appear, use Command Palette / Find Action and search for Blamely.
Updates
Install updates the same way you installed the plugin (Check for updates in the marketplace or IDE plugin manager). Release notes often appear on Changelog on this site.
Uninstall
Use your IDE’s extension or plugin manager, uninstall Blamely, and optionally remove .git/blamely from repos if you no longer want local data (per-repo, not system-wide).
Marketplace availability can vary by channel; if Blamely does not appear in search yet, try again after refresh or use the links in each editor-specific page above.
