With IntelliJ IDEA you can restore that change in a couple of clicks. The Undo action can't help you here because that change is too far away, and you'll be forced to discard other changes if you use it. Let's imagine you made a series of changes to a file since your last commit before your realized you've deleted a meaningful chunk of code. It also has a retention period and maximum size, so revisions are not guaranteed to persist.

Local History is cleared when you install a new version of IntelliJ IDEA. Note that Local History is not a replacement for a proper version control for long-term versioning. It may also serve as a recovery source if your computer restarts unexpectedly before you can take any action. It automatically records your project's state as you edit code, run tests, deploy applications, and so on, and maintains revisions for all meaningful changes made both from the IDE and externally.Īcting as your personal version control system, Local History lets you restore deleted files, bring back separate changes, or roll back to any state of a file even if no version control is enabled for your project yet, or if an unwanted change was made after your last commit. Unlike version control systems, which only keep track of the differences made between commits, Local History offers much more.

Local History helps you constantly track all changes made to a project independently of version control.
