Commit History

The Commit History card displays a visual graph of your repository's commit history, with full support for branch visualization and commit operations.

The Commit Graph

The graph renders SVG curves for branch lines with:

• Color-coded branches — Each branch gets a distinct color
• Merge commits — Shown with a double ring indicator
• Branch labels — Local branches, remote branches, tags, and HEAD are all labeled inline
• Expandable messages — Click a commit to expand its full message

Filtering

Filter	Description
Branch filter	Select which branches (local and remote) to include in the graph.
Current branch only	Toggle to show only commits reachable from the current branch.
Search	Search commits by message, hash, or author.

Commit Operations

Right-click a commit or use the action menu to access these operations:

Action	Description
View Diff	Open the Diff Viewer for this commit's changes.
Cherry-pick	Apply this commit's changes onto the current branch.
Checkout	Check out this commit in detached HEAD mode.
Revert	Create a new commit that undoes this commit's changes.
Create Branch	Create a new branch starting from this commit.
Copy Hash	Copy the commit's SHA hash to the clipboard.
Reset	Reset the current branch to this commit. Options: Soft, Mixed, or Hard.

Reset Modes

Mode	Behavior
Soft	Moves the branch pointer but keeps all changes staged.
Mixed	Moves the branch pointer and unstages changes, but keeps them in the working directory.
Hard	Moves the branch pointer and discards all changes. This is destructive.

Infinite Scroll

The history loads incrementally. Scroll to the bottom to load more commits automatically.

Tips

• Use the branch filter to focus on a specific feature branch and its relationship to the main branch
• Cherry-pick is great for applying a single fix from one branch to another without merging
• Creating a branch from a commit in the graph is a quick way to start working from a specific point in history
