I DON'T care about looking at the git history of a file that has been marked as "modified".

What I want is something akin to what WebStorm/PhpStorm have where you can select any file in your project (modified or NOT) and inspect it's git history and all the changes to that file.

I also DON'T want to have to look down the list of the git tree, and click on each one to see which files were commited.

You can use the fuzzy finder in GitKraken to accomplish this.

While in the repository

  • Press control/cmd + p
  • Type history
  • Enter in the filename you wish to view the history of
