Commits history

Buddy lets you track repository changes in two ways:

Success
  • Commits – a.k.a. repository timeline, a visual representation of the git log command
  • Activity – displays the history of pushes to the repository + creation of branches, tags, and merge requests

Tracking changes on repository timeline

The repository timeline represents the history of changes in the selected branch with commits, dates, invokers, and associated deployment pipelines.

  1. Go to the Code tab and switch to Commits. Click the branch for which you want to check changes. There is a timeline view with the latest changes made:

  2. Clicking a commit will bring up its details:

What you need to know:

  • The timeline shows the commits in the currently viewed branch
  • Click on a commit hash ID to expand a menu where you can tag a commit, check its history, compare, or browse files in that revision
  • Colored dots next to the commit hash represent added (green), modified (orange) and deleted (red) files. Hover mouse over the dots for detailed info
  • Click the dropdown with the branch name (found at the top-right) to change the viewed branch

Tracking changes on activity stream

Activity stream is a timeline of all events taking place in the project. You can narrow down the activity to source-related events only with filter options:

  1. Go to the Activity tab to display the stream of events.
  2. Use the tabs found at the top to narrow down the events to the repository only:
