Git History Actions

Right-click any commit in Git History to amend, undo, reset, check out, reorder, revert, branch, tag, or cherry-pick it — without dropping to the terminal. Destructive actions confirm first and stop cleanly when a conflict appears.

Git History Actions

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Rewriting history from the command line means remembering whether you wanted a soft, mixed, or hard reset, getting the cherry-pick syntax right, and recovering by hand when something conflicts. Git History Actions moves all of that into the graph you were already reading: right-click the commit, pick the action, and let confirmation dialogs and clean conflict handling keep you out of a half-finished rebase.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Right-click a commit

Open the Git Client, switch to History, and right-click any commit to bring up its action menu.

2
2

Rewrite or move it

Amend or Undo the latest commit, Reset (soft, mixed, or hard) or Checkout an earlier point, Move Commit Up or Down, or Revert Changes in Commit.

3
3

Branch, tag, or cherry-pick

Create Branch from Commit, Create Tag, or Cherry-pick Commit onto your current branch from the same menu.

4
4

Copy or open it

Copy SHA, Copy Tag, or open the commit on its remote host; destructive steps confirm first and abort cleanly on conflicts.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# git log --oneline to find the commit
# git reset --soft HEAD~1 (was it soft or mixed?)
# git cherry-pick <sha> and hope it applies
# git revert <sha> in a second terminal
# git tag -a v1.0 -m "..." from memory
# Recover by hand when a cherry-pick conflicts

The 1DevTool Way

Right-click the commit in Git History.
Pick amend, reset, revert, cherry-pick, branch, or tag.
Confirm the destructive ones; conflicts stop cleanly.

Key Capabilities

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having project management built into your workspace

No Reset-Flag Roulette

Choose soft, mixed, or hard from a labelled dialog instead of guessing which reset flag you meant.

Stay in the Graph

Amend, revert, cherry-pick, and tag from the same history view you were already reading — no second terminal.

Guardrails on Destructive Work

Every rewrite confirms first, and a conflicted reorder or cherry-pick stops instead of leaving the repo mid-operation.

One Menu, Every Action

Branch, tag, copy the SHA, or open the commit on GitHub without leaving the right-click menu.
