Description

A new version of GitLens was published on the VS Code Marketplace, but it does not appear in the GitHub releases.

At the same time, GitLens was indirectly pulling in @ctrl/tinycolor, which recently had issues. This suggests the publisher may have been affected when updating/using the extension(?).

Can you confirm if the Marketplace release is legitimate and why it’s missing from GitHub?
