Git History adds a compact, read-only commit graph to a thread's right panel. It reads repository refs, so the graph includes local branches, remote-tracking branches, tags, stashes, and shared worktree history.
Install the latest compatible release from GitHub:
bb plugin install git:https://github.com/yusuf8834/bb-git-history.git@^0.3.0For local development:
npm install --include=dev
npm run build
bb plugin install .Open a project thread and select Git History from the right panel's Actions list. Enable Show thread header shortcut in the plugin settings if you also want a Git folder button beside the editor controls.
- Topologically ordered commits across repository refs
- Experimental branch and merge lanes using the compact history style
- Local, remote, tag, stash, and
HEADlabels - Commit author, date, full message, and first-parent changed files
- Per-file patches rendered by bb's native diff viewer
- Collapsible uncommitted-file list with working-tree diffs
- Infinite loading with virtualized rows
The experimental commit graph is enabled by default. Turn off Experimental commit graph in the plugin settings to return to the single history rail.
The plugin does not run checkout, reset, merge, rebase, or other Git mutations. Commits reachable only through reflogs are not part of the main graph.
npm test
npx tsc --noEmit
npm run buildThe host entry runs Git on the thread environment's bb host. This keeps the same behavior for local worktrees and repositories on connected machines.
