GoLand 2021.3 Help

Repository and Incoming tabs

The Repository and Incoming tabs are only available for non-distributed version control systems (that is all VCSs supported by GoLand except for Git and Mercurial).

The Repository tab shows the changes committed to the repository under the VCS roots within the current project. The Incoming tab shows the changes committed to the repository by other team members, and not yet checked out locally. Both tabs display the information stored in the history cache. The number of changelists displayed depends on the cache scope.

Each tab contains the following panes:

  • The Changelists pane shows changelists.

  • The Changed Files pane shows the list of files that were modified and committed within the selected changelist.

Note that if you are using SVN 1.5 or later both on the server and in the local working copies, the Repository tab also features a Merge Info pane that configures the view in the other two panes and provides control over integration between branches.

Changelists Pane

The pane shows the changelists committed and stored in the history cache. When you click a changelist, the files affected by the selected commit are displayed in the Changed Files pane.

Committed changelists often correspond to issues in tracking systems. You can have such issues opened in the browser right from the Changelists pane. This functionality has the following prerequisites:

  • The pattern of the bug tracking system is specified in the Issue Navigation Settings Preferences dialog.

  • The corresponding issue number is mentioned in the commit message.

After issue navigation has been configured, issue numbers in commit messages are rendered as links. Clicking such link brings you to the corresponding page of your issue tracker.
