I use SVN and when I used to right click on the file and click show history, it showed history of all the commits done by different people but doesn't work anymore and comes up blank. Any way I could have toggled it off somewhere and can turn it back to work? IntelliJ version is 2017.2.0
Project history cannot be disabled - there is probably some error behind this. Check if there are any errors in the logs
Alos, clearing the history cache and reloading might help. To clear click the red cross icon in the toolbar of the Repository tab, and then Refresh to reload.

Today I added Material Theme plugin to WebStorm and I believe this is the reason behind changelist not appearing on the sidebar.
To be precise, this is what happens in IntelliJ when I make change to a specific line of code and click on the yellow bar that appeared after I removed the semicolon:
The change I made can also be seen under VCS -> Local History -> Show History menu option, which shows the diff between the previous and current version of that file.
However, performing the same action in WebStorm doesn't show the changelist/diff on the sidebar:
which means that the only way I can see it is by going to VCS -> Local History -> Show History which is very tedious:
I found being able to quickly revert/lookup the changes on the fly by clicking on that coloured bar really handy, could someone tell me if there is a setting in the IDE that enables that? I looked up and down but couldn't find anything relevant, perhaps I wasn't looking for the right keyword.
Thanks in advance.
Change markers are there for me when using Material UI plugin. Do you have Highlight modified lines in gutter enabled in Settings | Editor | General?
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.
On the bottom of the sidebar, you'll see 3 "tabs"; Docker, Commits, & Compare Commits. I can disable them per workspace but next time I open code, it's still there. I've searched everywhere to figure this one out. How do I disable them permanently? All of my search queries returned how to interact with Git and VS Code but not how to disable this feature. I also searched through the Settings in VS Code but didn't find anything related to what I am after.
You can right click on any of these, and select "Hide from Side Bar"
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
Is there a way to temporarily hide or remove a file from Intellij? I used to work in c# and I remember there was some way in visual studio to temporarily remove a project from the build then add it back later. I am just trying to figure out what parts of code are necessary for certain features.
This is a perfect use case for git stash.
If you're not using a git repo, hit Ctrl+Shift+A and type "Create Git Repository", then hit enter to initialize git tracking on your current project.
Initially, you'll want to add your important files to git. Hit Alt+1 to navigate to the Project View, then select all the files.
In order to add a file to git, press Ctrl+Alt+A, you should see the filename turn from red to green. It is now being tracked.
Now you'll want to make your first commit. Hit Ctrl+K, and IDEA will guide you through this.
Finally, once everything's all checked in, you can start messing around a little. If you make a few changes, say delete a file, and want to temporarily revert to the last commit, hit Ctrl+Shift+A, then "Stash". Select "Stash changes", write a little message for yourself, and you'll immediately jump back to the last commit.
Now say you want to go back to those changes you stashed. Hit Ctrl+Shift+A again, type "Unstash" then select "Unstash changes". Find the stash, check "Pop stash" and hit Enter.
This is a pretty common workflow for temporarily saving, removing and reverting changes in Git. You can read more about git stash here, and version control on IntelliJ IDEA from Martin Balliauw.
