Git History is a web-based tool for visually browsing the history of a file from a Git repository. It lets users inspect how a file changed over time by replacing a supported repository URL with the Git History domain. The tool works with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket file URLs, making it useful across several common code-hosting platforms. It presents changes as an animated, readable timeline instead of requiring users to manually step through commits. The project also offers browser extensions, a bookmarklet, a CLI, and a VS Code extension for different workflows. Git History is especially useful for developers who want to understand the evolution of code, documentation, or configuration files quickly.
