TimeMachine for Code

“Finally — Code History, Perfected. The Ultimate CTRL+Z for VS Code.”
The undo/redo system VS Code users have dreamed of for years.

The Most Powerful Code History System Ever Built

Features

• Infinite undo/redo (survives restarts)
• Visual timeline panel (exactly like Photoshop)
• Jump to any moment in time
• Take named snapshots
• Branching timelines ("what-if" experiments)
• Side-by-side diff of any two points
• AI-powered change summaries (coming v1.1)
• Works without Git
• Zero lag — smart compression & debouncing

How to Use

It starts working the second you install it — no setup required.

1. Open the Timeline

• Press Ctrl+Shift+P → type "Open TimeMachine Timeline"
• Or click the clock icon in the Activity Bar

2. Travel Through Time

• See every change with timestamp & preview
• Click any moment → your entire workspace instantly restores to that state
• Use Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y normally — or click later moments to redo

3. Take a Snapshot (Never Lose a Perfect State)

When your code is perfect:

• Press Ctrl+Shift+P → "TimeMachine: Take Snapshot"
• Type a name (e.g., "Login working", "Before refactor")
• It stays pinned forever with a star

4. Keyboard Shortcuts (Super Fast)

5. Survives Everything

• Close and reopen VS Code → your full history is still there
• Close the entire computer → history still waits for you
• Works even if you have no Git repo!

Real-World Examples

→ You accidentally deleted a function 2 hours ago → Open timeline → click that moment → done
→ Boss says "I liked the version from yesterday morning" → Find the snapshot → restore instantly
→ You're experimenting → Take snapshot → break everything → click snapshot → safe again.

### Your history survives:
Closing VS Code
Restarting your computer
Switching projects
Even without Git!

A: No. TimeMashine complements Git by giving instant, fine-grained history for every file, even for unsaved or experimental changes.
