Local History

A Sublime Text package for maintaining a local history of files.

Benefits

Every time you modify a file, a copy of the old contents is kept in the local history when you:
- open the file.
- close the file.
- and/or loose focus.
Available functions are:
- file comparison of the open file and any of its older versions from the history.
- incremental diff view.
Functions are available via:
- the right-click context menu.
- the Local History: ... commands from the command palette.
Local History helps you out when you change or delete a file by accident.
Local History can help you out when your workspace has a catastrophic problem or if you get disk errors that corrupt your workspace files.
File revisions are stored in separate files (with full path):
- see the Local History path section below

Installation

Via Package Control:
- Install Package Control
- Open the command palette (CtrlShift ⇧P)
- Choose Package Control: Install Package
- Search for Local History and select to install.
Clone the repo: git clone git://github.com/vishr/local-history.git "Local History" into your Sublime Text Packages directory.
- via HTTPS: https://github.com/vishr/local-history.git
- via SSH: git@github.com:vishr/local-history.git
current snapshot of master
- current snapshot of master as *.zip
- Download the zip-file, unpack it and then re-zip the contents of the Local History subdirectory. Rename Local History.zip to Local History.sublime-package and move it to your Installed Packages subdirectory of your Sublime Text installation. On Linux this is ~/.config/sublime-text-2/ or ~/.config/sublime-text-3/.
- current snapshot of master as *.tar.gz

Settings

Default settings

"history_retention": 0, // number of days to keep files, 0 to disable deletion
    "format_timestamp": "%Y%m%d%H%M%S", // file_name-XXXXXXXX.file_extension
    "history_on_close": true, // only save LocalHistory after closing a file, not when original was saved
    "history_on_focus_lost": false,
    "history_on_load": true,
//  "history_path": "",
    "portable": true,
    "file_size_limit": 4194304 // 4 MB

Local History path

Local History's target directory for file revisions can be set as follows:

For "portable": true, Local History will save to Sublime Text/Data/.sublime/Local History/... wherever Sublime Text is installed.
Setting "portable": false will change the target folder to the ~/.sublime/Local History/... subfolder of your user directory.
- If "portable": false changing "history_path": "..." will give you the option to change the target directory to a custom path.

Usage

Context Menu

Functions are available via:
- the right-click context menu.
- the Local History: ... commands from the command palette.
