Local History for Visual Studio automatically creates a history of your files every time they are saved. The history can be compared with the current version.

This is for is for Visual Studio 2017. For older versions, use the original one: local-history-visual-studio

Usage

  • Open the Local History from the View -> Other Windows -> Local History OR
  • Open the Local History by right clicking on a project item -> Local History...
  • Double-click the revision to compare it with the latest version
  • Add/remove/edit labels by selecting the history item then using the L key
  • Settings page in Tools -> Options -> LocalHistory screenshot.png

Notes

This is not a substitute for source control or backups. Take care of your code files.

Contributing

PR and issue reports are welcome.

Acknowledgments

This project is based on the excellent local-history-visual-studio. Since the original repository has little activity, I decided to fork it and add a few features (and support for newer Visual Studio versions).
