What this helps you do

Navigate real branch and merge topology with bounded, filterable history pages.

Find it in GitGlow

Open a repository and choose History.

Before you start

History inspection is Free. Pages load up to 200 commits and can request the next boundary.

Steps

  1. Search by message, author, SHA, or path.
  2. Filter local refs, remote refs, tags, or dates.
  3. Select a row to open commit details without losing the graph position.

Expected result

Topology, refs, selected commit, and inspector remain synchronized.
