Does anyone know how to view your locally committed changes in IntelliJ for Mecurial before pushing them? It seems that I can only commit them and then Push through the Mecurial context menu.
In IntelliJ, modified files are blue, deleted (and sometimes untracked) files are red, and new files are green. After you add them to a commit the color coding should reset itself because it is looking at the latest commit for differences.
Alternatively you can right click on the file, move to git (and presumably mercurial) and click any of the "compare" options

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)

I'm on IntelliJ 2019.2.4 (Ultimate) I'm not sure of the version I upgraded from, but it was from 2018 for sure. I noticed this annoying changelist below my default changelist in a very click-baity way, and I can't find a setting to get rid of it. Trying to delete it prompts me to delete the actual file in that changelist, which I don't want to do. It's nothing I've set up, and seems to be something IntelliJ is doing automatically.
(For posterity/if the image dies, my screenshot shows my changelist with some files I changed in default, and then a second, unwanted changelist below that says 'People who change the files in the active changelist also change:
The node you see is not actually a changelist, and there are no changed files inside it. It lists files that, based on your project git history, are usually changed in the same commits as the files in the active changelist, and appear related to the changes you applied.
The purpose of this node is to suggest some files you might want to change and commit in addition to already modified files, so there is no need to amend or create a new commit with these changes later if the files do need to be modified as well.
If you don't want to see it, just disable the Show files related to the active changelist option under the Eye in the Local Changes toolbar. Disabling the ChangeReminder plugin would also work, but is unnecessary.
I accidentally discarded 2 uncommited files from my project. Is there any way to undo these changes/bring those files back. I use IntelliJ and VS Code simultaneously. MAybe some kind of editor cache or history where I can view last hour or so changes and copy those??
I found the answer. There seems to be no way to do this using just GIT. But an Editor like IntelliJ really helps. IntelliJ maintains a local history of changes you did (even uncommitted) and you can revert to any point in time (caveat it keeps history only upto few Days).
How To Revert
IntelliJ Project tab -> rt click there -> select Local History -> Show History. Just select the point in time you want to go and revert.

https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2008/01/using-local-history-to-restore-deleted-files/
If you created the file using IntelliJ, you're in luck since IntelliJ will track local history of edits and allows restoration. Right click the project in the project view, and select Local History. You'll be able to find the step in which the file was deleted, and will be able to roll it back with a right-click.
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.
In the changes tab, IDEA shows a bunch of files which, when I view with the diff viewer, have no differences. Then when I commit to svn these files are committed as well. Is there a way I can only view/commit files which are actually different?
In the Show Diff window, what is Ignore Whitespace set to (in the top left corner)? If it is set to anything other than 'Do not ignore', try changing it and seeing if that is the difference in the files.
Depends on the VCS, Perforce has "Revert Unchanged Files" in the Perforce VC menu. While Git only checks in files that are changed (checks diff when committing). Otherwise it might be the above answer that Idea has a setting for ignoring/hiding whitespace only changes)
Could there be property changes on those files? Right click, then select Subversion -> Properties Diff with Local
