Before AS Jellyfish release, There was a tab for files in Git tool window that helps you quickly review files you've changed/added/deleted and see changes in those files. After I updated to Jellyfish + updating the git tool window version, it disappeared. I tried searching through Settings -> Version control -> git to find if I can re-enable it but I can't see a checkbox for it. Is this intentional? am I missing something obvious here?

Hmm it might be because the changes are shown in the Commit tool window. I can’t recall the setting but toggling that off might move it back. It’s an IntelliJ feature so I suggest you look at their docs and changes since 2023.3, which Jellyfish is based on.

Is Settings -> Version Control -> Commit -> Use Non-modal Commit Interface what you're after?

Thanks, this is a relief. The two important things brought back here for me are having Local Changes and Shelf together as sibling tabs in same pane. And having Commit bring up a dedicated window where you can see diffs for each of the files changed.

Thank you Chris & Blake, that was it indeed 👌.

@Mark What is Shelf tab?

[Mark]

Just shelve some changes and you should see it

[MR3Y]

do you mean stash them?

Ah I found it. here is the documentation about this feature https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/shelving-and-unshelving-changes.html#shelve-unshelve-changes

that non commit modal interface thing has been changed for a lonnnnng time (has to be at least 1 or 2 years). but maybe AS didn't migrate that preference to the new version of Jellyfish?

I can't find the settings for the inline diff in the commit window in IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1 EAP
