Switching to the Log View

To browse the history of an item under version control:

  1. Select the item you are interested in. The item may be in a working copy or repository browser.

    Unlike the timeline view, you can only select a single item when switching to the log view.

  2. Switch to the log view by selecting View > Log (key equivalent ⌘2) or by clicking the log button in the browser view toolbar:

    Log

  3. The first time you switch to the log or timeline view for a repository, you will be prompted to download and cache the repository’s history.

    See Downloading and Caching Your Repository’s History for more information.

  4. The log view will be loaded and displayed with the item’s history.
