  • View a previous copy of the file or compare it against the local workspace version or a previous version.
  • View the changes to the active line in the editor (Git Blame).
  • Configure the information displayed in the list
  • Use keyboard shortcuts to view history of a file or line
  • View the Git log (along with details of a commit, such as author name, email, comments and file changes).
