Version control

Texpile keeps versions of your project with git, from the Source Control panel. Changes since the last version are listed by file, you tick the ones to include, write what changed, and Save version. History lists every saved version, and any of them can be restored. If the folder is not a repository yet, the panel offers to initialise one.

Where to find it

Panel: Source Control The branch icon in the sidebar header.
In the panel: Click a changed file Opens the diff against the last version.
Palette: Switch to the diff view Ctrl+K, then type the name.

Visual diff

A changed file opens in a diff against the last version. In the visual editor the changes are marked in the formatted text, word by word. In the source editor they are marked line by line.

This covers the everyday loop. For branches, remotes, and history rewriting, use the built-in terminal. It needs git installed.
