The extension provides a visual git history panel to help you browse git history easily.
It brings the following main features
🗞️ Full git history
🩺 Diff batch commits
〽️ Commit chain graph
🔍 Quick search
Usage
Git History
Scroll once to see all commits in git history even if the amount of commits is huge
Commit Changes
Click a commit to check the changes
Select multiple commits with Ctrl/⌘ pressed,and then you will see the merged changes from the selected commits
Drag through the commits to quickly select them
Select exactly two commits (any two, they need not be related) and pick Compare Commits from the commit menu to see the difference between them, which is handy for comparing two release points. The Changes view then shows Comparing abc1234 ↔ def5678 next to its title so a comparison is not mistaken for the changes of a commit
Right click a changed file for Open Changes, Open File at Commit, Copy Path, Copy Relative Path, Open Containing Folder and Open in Integrated Terminal (Ctrl/⌘-click to select several files and copy their paths at once)
Commit Actions
Right click a commit to act on it, right click a tag to manage it:
Copy the commit hash or message
Create a branch at the commit and switch to it
Add a tag at the commit
Cherry-pick / revert the commit (reverting asks for confirmation first)
Check out the commit in a detached HEAD
Reset the current branch to the commit (soft / mixed / hard)
File and Selection History
These actions live under Git History in the Explorer, editor tab and editor context menus, so it is clear which extension they come from (in the Changes view they are offered directly).
Show File History narrows the History panel to the file you right clicked. The filter is shown next to the view title and cleared with the button there
Show Selection History narrows the History panel to the commits that changed the lines you selected (git log -L), so you can pick one there to see the changes it made. The filter is shown as src/a.ts:20-24 next to the view title and cleared with the button there. It also works inside the file-changes (diff) editor opened from the Changes view, tracing the lines from the revision that side shows
Commit Chain Graph
Others
Search for hash in all commits and navigate to the location
Filter the commits by authors/message
Switch to another branch or repo in your workspace; the current repository is shown next to the view title, your choice is remembered the next time you open the view, and resetting the filters keeps the repository on screen
Drag the header to set a comfortable size for columns
