Three kinds of history

Resomark shows three kinds of history, from three places. A Git repository has its commits, recorded when you commit. A folder outside Git with Track Changes on has the Workspace History that Resomark records (called Reso History on a single file). And files on this Mac also have the Mac versions macOS keeps when a file is saved. On any one file, Git and Reso never appear together; Mac versions can sit alongside either.

	Git History	Workspace History / Reso History	Mac versions
Who records it	You, when you commit	Resomark, on its own by its rules; you can also add save points by hand	macOS, when the file is saved
Where it exists	Any Git repository	Workspaces outside Git with Track Changes on	Files on this Mac; remote files have none
What it covers	The whole repository, or just one file	The whole Workspace, or just one file	One file
What it stores	The content at each commit	The content you've accepted	The whole file at each save
Where it's stored	In the repository, in .git	In Resomark's app data on this Mac; for a remote Workspace, on the remote computer	Managed by macOS
How long it's kept	Up to your repository	Not cleaned up on its own, for now	Up to macOS; Apple hasn't published how long
Whole folder	Commit History	Workspace History	—
Single file	Git, in History in the Inspector	Reso, in History in the Inspector	Mac, in History in the Inspector

How to use each: Commit History, Workspace History, History of a single file.

Before you restore a file to an old version from any kind of history, Resomark first saves the current content, including words you haven't saved yet. Restoring from Git or a Mac version saves it as a new Mac version; restoring from Reso History saves it as a save point named Before Restore. If you restore the wrong version, you can still get back what you had.

• Outside changes you reverted: revert means discard, so they aren't in any history.
• In-between states you never accepted: Workspace History stores what you've accepted. If an AI changes a file to A and then to B, and you didn't keep A while it was there, A isn't in Workspace History.
• Old content of images, PDFs, audio and video: Track Changes only records that they changed; it doesn't store old versions.
• Git changes you haven't committed: Git history only has what was committed.

File > Browse All Versions… opens the version browser built into macOS, which shows Mac versions. It's always available, with or without Plus.

• History of a single file
