View Git History

As you manage changes in your workspace, you can use the Git History panel to view your Git actions and keep track of what you've done in the workspace.

The Git History panel lists all your Git actions (the last 400 to be precise), along with the results of each action. Accessing this panel is useful when you want to check the sequence of recent actions and their details, especially when troubleshooting issues with version control.

You can also filter the actions by various criteria (commit message, revision ID, branch name, action type, and so on) to quickly find events and check details to understand its history.

1. Click Git History at the bottom of your workspace.

   A panel opens to show the Git actions you've performed in the workspace (starting with the most recent one).

2. Click any action to view its details on the right. Say you're looking for the revision ID of a commit; click the commit and look for the revision ID in the details pane. If the action you select has other actions triggered internally (for example, a Publish action that triggers other actions), you'll see a sub-list of those actions, as shown here:

   In the details pane, you can click each sub-action to view more information.

3. When you know what you're looking for, use the search and filter options to find it quickly.

   In the Filter search box, enter text (say, a file name, branch, or message) to find the item that matches what you enter. Case is important as text-based search is case-​sensitive. You can also filter by action type or by date. Use a combination of all three options to quickly find what you're looking for:
