How to turn on Local Changes - Default Changelist for Git in IntelliJ?

I have two Windows 10 machines that have the exact same version of IntelliJ Ultimate. One of them has a Local Changes sub-tab in the Git tab, while the other does not. How do I turn this on/off so I can view changes? I would prefer this to be on rather than off. I have disables all non bundled plugins, but I am still seeing the same view in both. I have searched far and wide, and for whatever reason this setting has eluded me.

Solution

  • Version Control window has been redesigned, you can find "Local Changes" under "Commit" tab on the left side of the window next to the Project tab .

    You can see what's new here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/#version-control

    If you want to restore old view then you need to disable "use non-modal commit interface" under Preferences | Version Control | Commit
