xcode git history

In the session titled "Xcode essentials" from WWDC 2024, there are several features related to Git history and usage in Xcode. Here are some highlights:

1. Filtering by Git Status: Xcode allows you to filter files by their Git status, making it easier to return to files in your upcoming commit while viewing them in the context of your entire project. This feature is particularly useful for reviewing changes before committing. You can find more about this in the Xcode essentials session.

2. Show Last Change for a Line: If you're fixing an error and want to know more about how it came to be, you can right-click and select "Show Last Change for Line" to get an overview of the commit for that line. This feature acts like a focused version of blame. More details can be found in the Xcode essentials session.

3. Changes Navigator: Before making a commit, you can preview the upcoming commit in the Changes Navigator. This allows you to review all your changes, appreciate your progress, and then stage and commit your changes. This is discussed further in the Xcode essentials session.

These features are designed to enhance your workflow by providing better insights and control over your project's version history directly within Xcode.
