As far as I know, when I change some files and navigate to the Git tab, then I must be able to see Local Changes tab, which shows the list of the files which I changed. And I can use the green tick to push it. The below image shows what I mean by Local Changes.
Sadly, this feature does not show up in my Git tab. Instead I got the following view:
How can I get the Local Changes tab?
One thing I did find is chat discussion 14.1 - Not showing Local Changes from April 2015, but it is not clear for me what should I delete.

You can see what's new in the most recent versions of IDEA at What's New in IntelliJ IDEA.
If you want to restore old view then you need to disable "use non-modal commit interface" under Preferences > Version Control > Commit
In the 2025.1 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).
