Git Log Studio

A Git tool window for VS Code modelled on the Git Log of IntelliJ IDEA: commit graph, branches pane, filters, changed files and commit details side by side. Everything is drawn with your VS Code color theme (light, dark and high contrast), codicons and native-looking menus.

Open it with Alt+9 (macOS Cmd+9) or the Git tab in the panel.

Features

Tabs – Log, Console, Update Info: … (after Update Project) and any number of extra Log tabs with their own filters (+, rename, duplicate, middle-click to close).

• keys: ↑ ↓ PgUp PgDn Home End, ← child / → parent, Enter = changes, F2 = edit message, Ctrl+C = copy hash, Ctrl+F = text filter

Changes and details

• tree of the files changed by the selected commit(s), compacted folders, file counts, A/M/D/R status
• double-click opens the VS Code diff editor (several files open the multi-diff editor)
• Show Diff, Compare with Local, Open File, Open Repository Version, Revert / Cherry-Pick Selected Changes, Show History, copy paths
• commit message, hash, author, date, committer, In N branches, clickable URLs and #123 issue links (GitHub, GitLab)

Also

• panel buttons: Refresh, Fetch, Update Project (pull; asks Merge or Rebase when branches diverged), Push
• Console tab with every git command the extension ran and its output
• Show History in the Explorer and editor context menus
• refreshes automatically when commits or branches change (also from the terminal)
• multi-root workspaces with several repositories

Network operations (fetch, pull, push) go through the built-in VS Code Git extension when it is enabled, so authentication works the same way as in the Source Control view.
