All Commits with a commit graph, a selected merge commit that lists the commits it brought in, and a split diff

In short

  • The graph shows every branch and merge, with branch and tag labels on their commits.
  • Commit details say whether a commit is already on the remote or not pushed yet.
  • Merge commits list the commits they brought in and what the merge changed.

Step by step

  1. Open All Commits

    Pick All Commits in the sidebar. Each row shows the message, the author and when, and the lanes on the left show how branches split and merge.

  2. Select a commit

    The details show the author, the date, the commit ID with a copy button, its parent, and whether it is On origin/main or Not pushed yet. Pick a file to see its diff, side by side or unified.

  3. Understand a merge

    A merge shows a button such as 3 commits from feature/offline-sync. Click it to list those commits. The files under Changed by the merge are compared with the branch the merge went into.

    Commit details of a merge: 3 commits from feature/offline-sync, on origin/main, and the files the merge changed

  4. Act on a commit

    Right-click a commit for actions such as New branch here, Undo with a new commit and Back to this commit…. More actions has cherry-pick and tags. Anything that changes history opens a preview first.
