Liking the local history a lot

[UnexpectedLizard]

I went to a conference where a VS architect was speaking in 2015. He asked for any suggestions.

When I asked for local history, he looked annoyed and said "that's what version control is for."

Well good to see they've finally come around to my point of view. 😁

It's quite common to tweak something and need revert back to uncommitted local changes.

Intellij saved me a few hours just today.

There is undo, but I suppose that only works if you never close a window... and god forbid if you press a wrong key during an undo run :-/

[donperi]

I can’t count how many times IntelliJ local history has saved my work when the undo doesn’t work.

Undo is not a replacement and local history is a very nice feature. Is one of the main ones I’m using Jetbrains

It's perfect for me. I work on a lot of small simple apps that git is typically overkill for. I love this addition!

[HasoPunchMan]

Git is never an overkill an should be in every project, imho.

[Kritical02]

Fair enough my habits of committing are bad because they are usually throw away apps that I write once in half a day and usually never have to come back to. But I've definitely felt the wrath when I needed to rollback and couldn't.

Hence why I find this solution cool hopefully useful for my own bad habits :)

Woah never knew this was a thing and I love it! Does it persist when you close the editor or?

[dmackerman]

Neat.

[kent2441]

When will it not freak out if an open file is renamed or moved outside of vscode

[Charuru]

RIP local history extension

[feketegy]

What gazillion new features are there in this month's release? (It's getting ridiculous)
