Git: Versioning View

The Git Versioning view provides you with a real-time list of all of the changes made to files within a selected folder of your local working tree. It opens by default in the bottom panel of the IDE, listing added, deleted or modified files.

By default, the Versioning view displays a list of all modified files within the selected package or folder in your Working Tree.

The following table lists the Git commands available in the toolbar of the Versioning view:

Name Function

Head vs Working icon Changes between HEAD and Working Tree

Displays a list of files that are either already staged or only modified/created and not staged yet.

Head vs Index icon Changes between HEAD and Index

Displays a list of files that are staged.

Index vs Working icon Changes between Index and Working Tree

Displays files that have differences between their staged and working tree states.

Refresh Status icon Refresh Statuses

Refreshes the status of the selected files and folders. Files displayed in the Versioning window can be refreshed to reflect any changes that may have been made externally.

Open Diff icon Open Diff

Opens the Diff Viewer providing you with a side-by-side comparison of your local copies and the versions maintained in the repository.

Revert Modifications icon Revert Modifications

Commit Changes icon Commit Changes

Note: You can access other Git commands in the Versioning view by selecting a table row that corresponds to a modified file, and choosing a command from the right-click menu.

You can click the column headings above the listed files to sort the files by name, status or location.
