CAUTION
If you don't have the main editor selected—which is likely, if you're looking at the Organizer—the source control
menu options are grayed out.
The comment has been highlighted in the Version Editor. The highlighting in the view at the left tells you how
each file has changed since the last commit, compared to the previous version shown at the right.
In this example, the changes in each file are trivial, but in a working project, the highlighted areas are more ex-
tensive. Added files don't yet have changes, so the same version is shown in both views.
After a commit, the M and A icons disappear from the Project Navigator until you make further changes.
To practice the commit process and create further changes, add a few more comment lines to any of the files
and commit after each line. Don't forget to save the file after each edit.
Open the Organizer, select the Repositories icon, and you should see a history list similar to the one in Figure
14.9, showing every commit for the project. Each commit has an author, a hash, the commit description, and a
timestamp.
You can click the reveal triangle next to each commit to show a list of modified files. Click View Changes to
open a version display.
