Git History

Quickly browse the history of any GitHub (GitLab and Bitbucket coming soon) file:

1. Replace github.com with github.githistory.xyz in any file url
2. There's no step two

Browser Extensions

You can also add an Open in Git History button to GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket with the Chrome and Firefox extensions.

Or you can use a bookmarklet.

javascript: (function() {
  var url = window.location.href;
  var regEx = /^(https?\:\/\/)(www\.)?(github|gitlab|bitbucket)\.(com|org)\/(.*)$/i;
  if (regEx.test(url)) {
    url = url.replace(regEx, "$1$3.githistory.xyz/$5");
    window.open(url, "_blank");
  } else {
    alert("Not a Git File URL");
  }
})();

CLI

There's also a command line version of Git History that works with any local git repo:

You need node to run this

$ npx git-file-history path/to/file.ext

or

$ npm install -g git-file-history
$ git-file-history path/to/file.ext
