How to display author + date in specific format?

Question

I want to see in each line which person write it, and the date. I downloaded the gitlens extension.

I just want you, 24-03-2025 format. This is what I tried and no luck:

• ${author} ${date}
• ${author} • ${date|'DD-MM-YYYY'}
• ${author}, ${date|'DD-MM-YYYY'}
• ${author}, ${date|'DD-MM-YYYY'}

Can someone solve this mystery? I do not want hours, just the data and the author.

You have to use update two GitLens settings:

{
    "gitlens.currentLine.format": "${author, } ${date}",
    "gitlens.currentLine.dateFormat": "DD-MM-YYYY"
}

Doing so, the Line Blame will be displayed as you expect:
