A web tool that lets you quickly browse the commit history of any file in a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository by swapping the domain in the URL, with animated step-through of changes. It also ships as a CLI and VS Code extension for local repositories.

Use cases

• view the history of a file on github
• see how a file changed over commits
• browse file history with an animated diff viewer
• view git file history for a local repo
• add a file history button to github in my browser
• step through a file's evolution commit by commit

When to choose

• you want a zero-setup way to see a file's evolution on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket
• you prefer a visual, animated step-through of file changes over raw git log
• you want file history inside VS Code or from the CLI for local repos

When to avoid

• you need full repository-wide history, branch graphs, or blame annotations
• you need offline access to history for remote repos without cloning
• you need deep git features like cherry-picking or rebasing - use a full git client
