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.
