How To Use CommitList Plug-in
The CommitList plug-in is installed by default with EmEditor Professional. This plug-in shows the current changes and the commit history of a Git repo. To use the CommitList plug-in, click 
on the Plug-ins bar. Or in the Tools menu, point to Plug-ins, and then click CommitList.
The plug-in will first check if the current document is in a Git repo. If it is, the repo will be selected and its commit history will be displayed. You can click on the Open… button to open a different repo.
Current changes and staged changes are shown. Staged changes are changes that were added to the index. All other changes to the working tree are shown in the changes tree.
From the context menu in the changes tree, you can View Changes, Open File, and Refresh to get updated info.
Click on the Commit List button to view the commit history. The selected branch can be changed with the top right dropdown menu. When a commit is selected, the right sidebar displays the commit details and the list of files changed on this commit. Right-click on a file in the list and select Compare with Previous to see what changed to the file on this commit.
In the commit list, you can right-click on a commit and select Copy to copy the commit details. Browse Files At Commit will show the directory tree when the commit was made. And Compare Commits will show you the differences between two commits.
If a file that is in the current repo is opened in the editor, the View History For Current Document button can be selected. It lists any commits that include changes to the current file. Right-clicking on a commit will show four options. Show Commit jumps to that commit in the main commit list. Compare with Previous compares the file with its previous revision. Compare File at Commits compares the file at two different commits. Compare with File in Working Tree compares the file at the selected commit and the work tree version.
