VSCode has introduced the Timeline feature in newer versions. I was expecting this Timeline like the Local History in JetBrains products but it's not like that, I have something like this:
If I select Include: Git History, I can see Git Commits History in Timeline but I am unable to see file changes Local History like JetBrains Products. Am I missing something? Because this Timeline seems just only a Git Commits timeline. There's a plugin Local History for VSCode but I don't want to use that.
It seems only the Git history is currently available in the Timeline view without installing an extension. This is mentioned here:
Additional timeline sources can be contributed by extensions (although the API is still in the proposed stage), which will be shown in the unified Timeline view.
Also with Local File History being worked on (it is in the Insiders v1.66 now), when enabled there will be a copy of the file saved which can be restored later.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/71501328/836330 and Local History: v1.66 release notes for more.
Workbench > Local History: Enabled
Controls whether the local file history is enabled. WHen enabled, the file contents of an editor that is saved will be stored to a backup location and can be restored or reviewed later. Changing this setting has no effect on existing file history entries.
Clicking on any of the File Saved entries opens a diff of that save and the current file.
