Local History

Last modified: 28 June 2024

Local History helps you constantly track all changes made to a project independently of version control.

Unlike version control systems, which only keep track of the differences made between commits, Local History offers much more. It automatically records your project's state as you edit code, run tests, deploy applications, and so on, and maintains revisions for all meaningful changes made both from the IDE and externally.

Acting as your personal version control system, Local History lets you restore deleted files, bring back separate changes, or roll back to any state of a file even if no version control is enabled for your project yet, or if an unwanted change was made after your last commit. It may also serve as a recovery source if your computer restarts unexpectedly before you can take any action.
