Git History

Quickly browse the history of files in any git repo:

1. Go to a file in GitHub (or GitLab, or Bitbucket)
2. Replace github.com with github.githistory.xyz
3. There's no step three

Extensions

Browsers

You can also add an Open in Git History button to GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket with the Chrome and Firefox extensions.

Or you can use a bookmarklet.

javascript: (function() {
  var url = window.location.href;
  var regEx = /^(https?\:\/\/)(www\.)?(github|gitlab|bitbucket)\.(com|org)\/(.*)$/i;
  if (regEx.test(url)) {
    url = url.replace(regEx, "$1$3.githistory.xyz/$5");
    window.open(url, "_blank");
  } else {
    alert("Not a Git File URL");
  }
})();

Local Repos

You can use Git History for local git repos with the CLI or with the VS Code extension.
