## Start your journey
To use this extension one needs to navigate to the project folder in their VSCode Workspace and execute 'Code Journey: Start Journey' command.
To execute the `Code Journey: Start Journey` command type `Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+p` in VSCode to open the command palette and type `Code Journey: Start Journey`. You will then be reverted to the very earliest commit of the project from where you can traverse and look at how the code progressed.
Additionally, by default this extension assumes the git binary is already available in your machine and a git repository is already initialized for the project. If you wish to initialize a git repository, you can do this by executing `Code Journey: Init`.
There are additional settings for this extension as well, enter `Code Journey` in the Command Palette of VS Code to see them all.
