Snapshots and Git

Two ways to keep the history of your project.

Pick a version control mode in Settings → General → Version control. The first tab in the right rail follows your choice.

Snapshots are full copies of your project, saved under .snapshots/ in the project folder. They need no setup and no Git.

  • Take a snapshot before a big change.
  • Compare a snapshot with the current state in a diff view.
  • Restore a snapshot. Unsaved edits are saved first, so nothing is lost.

Snapshots leave out build/, .snapshots/ and .git/, so restoring one never rewinds your Git history.
