Created attachment 136582 [details] netbeans with (manually opened) git log in netbeans we have the wonderful possibility to view the commit history by selecting projects -> right click -> git -> show history. i have simulated what i would like to have in the attached screenshot. i did it by selecting all my projects and choosing the "show history" command from the context menu. i would like a persistent window/tab, that i could have always visible in the lower middle pane, which would always show the git log of all repositories whose projects are currently open in the IDE. the window should re-open and refresh itself upon restarting the IDE. it would be the best, if the log window could autorefresh itself when opened for the first time, or a small refresh button could be provided somewhere at the top of this window (the search button is a bit unergonomic for the use-case i am proposing). the reason for this wish is that before i commit, i like to browse through the last few commits to check, if i want to amend or squash anything befor pushing, so this would be a great help.

(In reply to markiewb from comment #1) > > show the git log of all repositories > ALL? How could the history of multiple repos be displayed? it's not visible on the screenshot, but the visible projects are actually distributed over 4 repositories. i don't know exactly how the 'selecting projects -> right click -> git -> show history' method handles multiple repos, but if i could choose, i would like all changes of all repos to be combined; like an activity stream. for me personally it wouldn't be really necessary to know which change belongs to which repository.
