Commit History Dialog (Git)

Applies to TestComplete 15.70, last modified on December 17, 2024

The dialog lists all changes that were made to the repository, shows commit messages, displays which files were changed, and so forth.

The dialog is displayed when you do any of the following:

  • Select File > Source Control > Show Log from the TestComplete main menu.
  • Right-click within the Project Explorer and choose Source Control > Show Log from the context menu.
