Local history in IntelliJ IDEA

Never lose editor changes with Local History — even in between your Git commits.

Bonus tip: assign shortcuts for quick access, e.g.:

  • Alt + H = Git history
  • Alt + Shift + H = Local history

If you're using VSCode, there's a similar feature called "timeline view".
