Can't find Git local changes in Intellij Idea 2020.1

I can't seem to find my local changes in Intellij Idea's latest version (2020.1), as you can see in the image below. What am I missing here? The "Git" tab only shows the Git log.

Solution

  • To see the Local Changes tab you just need to uncheck the option "Use non-modal commit interface"

    In the 2025.01 version, this setting was moved to Preferences > Advanced Settings > Version Control > "Use modal commit interface for Git and Mercurial" (it also requires the "Modal Commit Interface" plugin to be enabled).
