I have commit toolbar (⌘+0 for mac) with a list of changed files and i want to see the diff (⌘D). Currently diff is displayed in editor tab or i can switch it to show in a separate window, no more choice.
But I want to show it next to changelist at the bottom instead of text area with Commit Message and commit button. I know it's possible, but cannot find it anywhere. How can I put it there?
IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.2 (Ultimate Edition)
The reason is that Local Changes have been moved to a separate Commit tool window. To return it back you can change this in your
Settings -> Version Control -> Commit -> Use non-modal commit interface.
This is should be on Git toolbar (⌘+9), not Commit toolbar (⌘+0)
See more on corresponding thread at intellij-support.jetbrains Version control local changes tab missing in 2020.1

I was saving a file when i accidentally moved the commit button and now it is outside the sidebar.
Is there a way to put it back in or reset the position of all the buttons?Screenshot
I didn't quite understand what you mean by "moved the commit button and now it is outside the sidebar", but I took a look at your screenshot.
Assuming that you changed the Commit tool back to its old modal interface, you could easily revert that:
Go into Settings (CTRL+ALT+S for Windows)
Navigate to Version Control > Commit
Enable the option Use non-modal commit interface
With that option enabled, your commit tools should appear as an item in your left sidebar.
My question is the opposite of this one and this other one where they asked about restoring old behavior for the commit window and local changes.
Intellij 2020+ added a commit tab on the upper left of the IDE. Don't know what I did to make it disappear, but how do I get it back?
Two settings control the commit tab: one for its interface and one for its window. You may need to perform either or both steps depending on the state of your intellij.
Windows
Interface: Settings | Version Control | Commit, then enable Use non-modal commit interface
Window: go to Advanced Settings then Enable Commit tool window
Mac
Interface: Preferences (⌘+,) | Version Control | Commit, then enable Use non-modal commit interface
Window: go to View | Tool Windows | Commit [credit #Timofey]
For quick access to almost anything in intellij (settings, code, VCS, etc), press Shift twice to open the search anywhere window. Copy/paste above text to get directly to both settings. [credit #Marcelo]
On Mac enable version control -> commit -> Use non-modal commit Interface
I solved the problem by pressing this button
The button is located in the corner of the IDE
As shown in the screen cap below, the gutter to the left of the editor shows line numbers and color indicators for which lines have changed (and what kind of change):
It shows the changes against the current HEAD.
How could I make it show changes against another branch, such as main or even a remote branch such as origin/main?
For example, if the same change was already made on origin/mainline, I want no color indicator to show at all.
Thank you!!!!!
You can do this with the Git Scope plugin
It adds a Git Scope tool window that looks much like the built-in Git tool window (or the Commit tool window if you have the Git non-modal interface enabled). In the Git Scope window you can select a different branch to be the basis of file change indictors:
Not only that:
If you click on the color indicators, you can see the actual diff against the chosen branch.
The Git Scope window shows all changed files against the chosen branch (much like the built-in git window shows all changed files against HEAD).
As with the built-in window, you can right click on any file to or press ⌘D to see a full diff, or the Show Diff button to iterate over all file changes.
In fact, as far as I can tell, Git-Scope changes the diff context for even the built-in commands for showing the diff of the currently open file.
The Git Scope window has a toggle button to conveniently switch back and forth between normal mode (diffs against HEAD) and the Git Scope mode.
How to fix the window of git changed files somewhere in intellij? In Git History when I click on "Show all affected" icon a new window pops up how to make it fix in intillij?
Show all affected files is intended to open in a separate dialog, and it could not be docked.
As I understand, you want File history to show affected files in the same way as the Log tab. it is not possible, unfortunately. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-168152
As a workaround, you could use Select in Git log action to display the commit in the Log tab, where all the details are available.
In Eclipse, when click Synchronize view it will show up a tree structure of diff comparison from local to svn repo. Click on each file will pop up view to show code diff.
Is there a similar feature in Intellij and how to activate it? I am on latest Intellij Ultimate btw.
Click on the Version Control button on the bottom, click on the Incoming tab. Hit the refresh button (circle with arrows). First time it will ask you if you want to set up automatic refresh. It will then show any changes pending from the repository. You can click on files and get a diff. (You may have to right click on a revision and select "Show Affected Files".)
There is no exact same view in IDEA. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-119596
You can use Subversion -> Compare to the Latest repository version from a file's context menu.
There is also the Incoming tab that shows changes from the server not yet applied to your working copy. You could invoke Show Diff with local from the Details pane of the Incoming change
