Orion/Documentation/User Guide/Reference/Git Log page

The Git Log page allows you to browse the commit history of a Git repository branch. The page can show all the commits on a given branch, or focus on only the commits that involve changes to a particular file or directory. You can browse both local and remote branches using this page. What you see in this page depends on how you navigated to it:

  • Choose a file or directory in the Navigator Page, and select Git Log in the Actions column. This will show all commits in your current local branch that involve changes to the chosen file or directory.
  • Choose a file or directory in the Navigator Page, and select Git Remote in the Actions column. This will show all commits in the current remote tracking branch that involve changes to the chosen file or directory.
  • From the Git Status page


From this page you can open the contents of a commit in an editor, compare any two commits, compare any commit with the working tree, or tag a commit. In the toolbar on the far right hand side, there is a command to push any unreleased changes to the associated remote repository, if applicable.
