Question

I m looking for a way to see my local history changes   Kind of the equivalent way in WebStorm

User · Answer

I built an extension called Checkpoints  an alternative to Local History  Checkpoints has support for viewing history for all files  that has checkpoints  in the tree view  not just the currently active file  There are some other minor differences aswell  but overall they are pretty similar

I think there is no out-of-the-box support for that in VS Code   You can install a plugin to give you similar functionality  Eg    https   marketplace visualstudio com items itemName micnil vscode-checkpoints  Or the more famous   https   marketplace visualstudio com items itemName xyz local-history  Some details may need to be configured  The VS Code search gets confused sometimes because of additional folders created by this type of plugins  You can configure it to ignore such folders or change their locations  adding such folders to your  gitignore file also solves this problem

Basic Functionality   Automatically saved local edit history is available with the Local History extension  Manually saved local edit history is available with the Checkpoints extension  this is the IntelliJ equivalent to adding tags to the local history     Advanced Functionality   None of the extensions mentioned above support edit history when a file is moved or renamed  The extensions above only support edit history  They do not support move delete history  for example  like IntelliJ does    Open Request  If you d like to see this feature added natively  along with all of the advanced functionality  I d suggest upvoting the open GitHub issue here
