Git graph

The Graph pane shows the project's commit history as a graph, like git log --graph. It is read-only, except Fetch. It lives in the side panel by default and can be a tab in the main area, where it takes the whole area (see Panes & layout).

How to use

1. Open the side panel and pick graph (or press Ctrl+Shift+H).
2. In a folder with several repositories, pick the repository first (see Changes). The choice is shared with Changes.
3. Pick which branch to show: HEAD (the default) or All branches, or one branch.
4. Search with Text or hash, or filter by Author.
5. Click a commit to see its details and the diff of each file.

Good to know

• Labels are colored by kind: HEAD, local branches, remote branches and tags.
• It loads 200 commits at a time. Older ones load as you scroll down.
• Refresh reloads the graph.
• Fetch and the branch menu act on the selected repository. Fetching a submodule fetches only its own remotes.
• A commit that moved a submodule shows "Submodule path → commit" instead of a diff, with Show graph of path.
• It never checks out, commits or pushes.
