How to show a VSCode file’s change history that isn’t a got repository

Question

I have a file that is only local, and I wanted to see if there is a way to show the changes or last saves made to the file.

Why not just create a local repository? – Robby Cornelissen May 23 '22 at 07:40 — Robby Cornelissen, May 23 '22 at 07:40

If you keep vscode up to date in recent update devs introduced local history that is independent of git. You can find it by searching for Local History in command pallet (you can access it with CTRL+Shift+P by default)

You can install an extension named "Local History".

When you click a file, a comparaison with the current version is displayed.
