Show History for Selection

Show History for Selection lists Git commits that touched your current selection, then opens a side-by-side diff of parent vs selected revision for the same file.

Features

• Commit list scoped to the selected lines (per-line union + range trace)
• Resizable Commits panel (drag the handle above the list; height is remembered)
• Full commit message in a modal (click Commit Message) or hover preview
• Scroll sync between Parent and Revision panes

Requirements

• Git on your PATH
• File saved on disk and tracked by Git

Usage

1. Open a file in a Git repository.
2. Select one or more lines (or place the cursor on a single line).
3. Run Show History for Selection:
   • Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P), or
   • Editor context menu.
4. Pick a commit in the list to load the diff. Drag the horizontal bar above Commits to change the list height.
