Does Git Extensions keep a log of commands and their results?


When you run a command in Git Extensions, it pops up a window and shows you the git command line that it invokes along with the resulting output. This is handy but sometimes I close the window before I realize that I wanted to look at the details of the output. Does Git Extensions log this output anywhere by default or can it be configured to?


Solution

  • Looks like there is no such functionality. You can see the commands issued by Git Extensions from `Help-Gitcommand log'. I guess storing the outputs as well would be too heavy, as the results can be quite lengthy - think of the "Limit number of commits that will be loaded startup" setting. I have a value of 10000 there, and there will be at least that many lines in the output when I just open the program.
