What has changed?

Solution

  • Open Git Repositories view by clicking Windows > Show View > Git Repositories.

    Select your repository in this view. Right click on it then select Show In > History option.

    If you want to the history of a given file(Ex: server.js as shown in the image in question). Select/Locate this file in Package explorer/Navigator/Project Explorer view then right click on this file then select Team > Show in History option.
