It may also serve as a recovery source if your PC restarts unexpectedly before you can take any action. It automatically records your project’s revisions triggered by various events as you edit code, run tests, deploy applications, and so on.Īcting as your personal version control system, local history lets you restore deleted files, bring back separate changes, or roll back to any state of a file even if no version control is enabled for your project yet, or if an unwanted change was made after your last commit. Unlike version control systems, which only keep track of the differences made between commits, local history offers much more.
Continuing our series on how2pro with IntelliJ IDEA, today we’d like to tell you more about a good old feature that can turn out to be a real lifesaver: Local History.
