About Checkpoints

Checkpoints

Checkpoints used in between commits for keeping a local short-term history of work in progress, like bookmarks in you undo-stack.

Features

Add a checkpoint of the files current state by running the command Add Checkpoint (ctrl+alt+s).

Diff the current version of a file with a checkpoint.

Restore the file to the working state of a previous checkpoint.

Extension Settings

• checkpoints.location: Select where to show the checkpoints panel, the Explorer or Source Control. • checkpoints.showActiveFileOnly: Determines if only the active file should be visible in the tree explorer or not. • checkpoints.autoOpenFile: Determines whether selecting a file in the tree explorer will automatically open the document. • checkpoints.autoSelectFile: Determines whether a file item in the tree explorer will automatically expand/collapse when moving between files. • checkpoints.askForCheckpointName: Show a text input dialog when adding a new checkpoint to specify the checkpoint name. If disabled, the date-time value will be used. • checkpoints.addCheckpointOnSave: Determines whether to create a new checkpoint when the file is saved. Recommended to disable askForCheckpointName when this setting is enabled. • checkpoints.locale: Specifies the date-time locale used for the default checkpoint names.

Known Issues

• Does not support untitled (unsaved) files. • Limited support for some checkpoint commands if files are moved/renamed.
