Diff to HEAD with PHP Storm?

3

How can you see a Git diff to HEAD with PHP Storm?

I'm trying to switch over to PHP Storm from NetBeans as I've heard that it's more powerful. But I can't see how to use the Git diff tool, which was really easy to use in NetBeans IDE.

UPDATE - If I right click on an individual file I can go Git / Compare with latest repository version. This will do a diff to head. However if I try and so the same with a parent folder with multiple changed files the option is greyed out.

Select file on Version Control panel and hit ⌘+D to see changes in Difference Viewer.

Also this nice screencasts: 1 and 2 will be so useful for you. First video about IntelliJ but in PhpStorm this features work with the same way

The version control windows is greyed out for me which is strange because I have option in the VCS menu and when I make changes to a file the file the changes are highlighted so it seems Git is integrated.If I go to preferences / version control / Git and then click Test is says Git executed successfully. – Evanss – 2015-08-18T10:29:50.707

@jdln When you say version control windows do you mean Local Changes Tab ? Check update on my answer

in older versions it used to be easier than this...there was a button at the top that would let you view for whichever file you were editing...not sure what happened to it – Sabrina Gelbart – 2016-11-10T16:41:08.557
