Git History for Chrome

Git History for Chrome is a smart browser extension that allows anyone to browse the history of any file in any Git repository. More precisely, it adds a button on Chrome's toolbar so that each time users visit a file on either GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket they can view all the past changes done to the file in question over time.

Upon clicking the extension's button, users are automatically redirected to a portal called Git History which provides a very satisfying timeline-based GUI for viewing the said files.

Git History for Chrome can be installed very easily from the Chrome Web Store, and it doesn't require any sort of configuration to work. To get started, users simply have to install it, visit any file on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, and click the newly added button "Open in Git History." (i.e. On GitHub, the button is located next to the Raw, Blame, and History buttons).

To conclude, Git History for Chrome is a unique and very useful extension mostly aimed at developers who work with large scores of Git files, and are either curious or forced by the circumstances to see how a Git file became what it is.
