A Sublime Text 2/3 plugin for maintaining local history of files
- Every time you modify a file, a copy of the old contents is kept in the local history.
- At any time, you can compare a file with any older version from the history.
- View incremental diff of any file from the history.
- It can help you out when you change or delete a file by accident.
- The history can also help you out when your workspace has a catastrophic problem or if you get disk errors that corrupt your workspace files.
- Each file revision is stored in a separate file (with full path) inside the
.sublime/history
folder of your home directory. e.g.,/Users/vrana/.sublime/history/foo/bar/Oct.14.2012_14.48.47.history.py
