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

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.
I normally do git diff for this but want to leverage the intellij gui.
The Version Control tab just shows me all the files that changed:
To view the actual changes I have to select a file and choose "Show Diff".
This opens another window. Now from this other window if I want to see changes for another file I have to click this button then open the other file:
I don't like that. Is there a way to have this in the same pane? Where on the left I see a list of the changed files and I just have to select the file to see its changes? Otherwise its very clunky and unusable for being able to see a tree of changed files and selecting the one's changes I want to see
Just found it, I wanted "preview diff"
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.
I've got a workspace backed to my collaboration stream (CS), the CS has a parent stream (Parent).
In my workspace I changed a file with version Parent/1 and then promoted it to the collaboration stream some times. Its version became CS/2.
Then I got an update from the Parent and found that I don't need to keep my changes in that file and purged it on the CS. Its version became "CS/2*" on the CS and "Parent/2" in my workspace.
Now I'm trying to make some changes in the file in my workspace and promote it to the CS again, but I've got the message "change package merge required" for the file.
If I understand correctly, it can't be promoted due to the file version in my workspace is not derived from CS/2. How can I resolve the issue and promote new changes to the CS?
P.S. Moreover I have a pack of such files - about 70 files. How can I resolve the problem for the whole pack of files?
Open the issue you are associating your promotion with.
Click on Changes tab.
Select the file from the list in changes tab.
Right click -> Remove.
Now promote using this issue.
the only way that i have found to fix this is to use the "send to>issue (specifying ancestor)" command from the version browser tree.
open accurev
view>view streams (pick your depot)
click the "active issues" icon in the upper-right corner
click the "show active issues" icon under the problem stream
right-click>"send to change palatte" on the source issue
right-click>"browse versions" on the problem file
select "everything" in the "show" dropdown
right-click>"send to">"issue (specifying basis)" on the latest version in the current stream
click on the earliest ancestor (this should be a common ancestor of all versions)
enter the target ticket number and click "ok"
these steps should work for any source/target issue, even "unaffiliated" changes. technically, you shouldn't have to "show everything" and choose the oldest version. you really just need to get back to a common ancestor.
In SVN we have one option to download code on a particular revision. This provides the flexibility to download code on old revision also for build.
Is there a option in RTC to download a code on particular revision?
Yes: once you have done a repo workspace on a stream (where that old version was baselined), you can select a component (in the components section of your workspace), and click on "Replace with".
You can then chose the baseline you want to see, and it will be downloaded if you have a local workspace or sandbox in place.
Simply don't "deliver" to the stream, or you would replace the most recent baseline by an old one.
For setting a file to an older version, it is a bit manual (as in this thread):
Right click on the file in the change set, and select "show history" (or if the file is in an editor, right click on the editor and select "Team -> Show_History). That will open the History view on the file, form which you can select the version you want.
SOLVED! 🚀
The only thing that worked for me was:
.
On your workspace's tab [Pending Changes] -> RightClick on the component that you want to get file(s) back -> [Show] -> [History]
RightClick on the "PackOfChanges" that has your wanted file(s) -> [Revert]
.
PS: It won't actually revert your actual project state to that day, and won't undo that "commit". The only thing that it does is showing on your workspace's tab [Pending Changes] all the diferences between that day and you actual code, and in every file(s) that you want back you:
"DoubleClick" the file that you want back that was showed by revert, and an Editor will appear with the diferences between you file's actual code and it self on that day, and you pass all the code from the right to the left.
After it's done, on your workspace's tab [Pending Changes], RightClick on the RevertPackage -> Remove
.
Have a nice day! 😄
