Is that doing Ctrl+Z , Ctrl+Y in the background?

Before opening the link I was thinking this was going to be a cool feature that lets you scroll through older revisions of a file in git. This, paired with a git blame GUI would be awesome.

A minority report for git repos

Sweet feature regardless :)

Not quite on scroll, but Git Time Machine for Atom is kind of close: https://atom.io/packages/git-time-machine

Oh pretty nice, a vscode equivalent would be awesome

Nice! I did not like diff and history that comes with git-plus. Thank you!

You can easily do that using magit in emacs [1].

As a two-finger horizontal scroll?

The elisp functions to go back and forth in history are there, I'm sure it's just a matter of remapping them.

Scrolling through a file's git history like that would be pretty freaking awesome.

I once built a calculator app where you could two-finger swipe to undo/redo: https://appsto.re/nz/oxLx3.i

Previous/future states simply appear adjacent to one another so you can scroll through them easily.

I absolutely believe that version control history is something that needs to be treated as a dimension like any other

I once built a motion controlled drawing app that mapped rotating hands to scrubbing through the undo/redo stack.

Skip to 0:18 to skip calibration.

It would be cool to make a calculator that recognized number gestures.

That was my second thought. My first thought was, doesn't Time Machine already exist?
