I can view changes made to an individual file in git (history) from the terminal.
How do I view all changes (history) to individual files in eclipse?
From the Egit manual:
right-click Team > Show in History
That will display the graph of commits for that file.
That is the equivalent of git log

I have set up eclipse on a new computer and on the old one I was able to get the entire Git revision history of a file with a history tab of all changes complete with color coded line numbers in margin.
Now I only get Right click -> Team -> Show Local History.
How do I get Team -> Show In History back again?
Tried this with different perspectives and adding history view to both Navigator and Package Explorer views.
I can get revision history of an entire package resource but need it for just files.
You need to make sure your file is part of a git repo you have cloned locally (there should be a .git subfolder at the root of your project)
And you need to share that project with Git (Eclipse will recognized an existing Git repo)
Several months ago, I committed some code and files to the local Git Repository in Eclipse IDE. I did not push the changes to the central Git Repository. Later, I deleted those files and committed those changes again to the local Git Repository in Eclipse IDE. Now, I need those files again. So, I open the Git Reflog tab in Eclipse IDE. I scrolled down to the commit and double-click on it. This opens another tab showing me the message I wrote, the files and the branches. Here's a screenshot of the files.
If I double-click on a text file, an editor opens with the contents of the file. This is exactly what I need. However, if I double-click on the png file, an editor opens which shows me the textual representation of the bytes in the file. This isn't what I need. How do I get the actual file?
In another commit, the only files in the commit were images. So, I Cherry Picked them back into my branch.
It turns out one can checkout a commit, copy the files to temporary location, checkout the local branch, and then copy the files from the temporary location back into the branch.
This answer explains how do to the checkout.
I have a github repository and it is integrated into eclipse. I sometimes create files in other text editors, then refresh my project and then left click the project to get >Team>Commit. This usually gets every file. Unfortunately, I have several files that failed to commit this way. I don't see them on github and I can see the following when I do Team Synchronizing.
There is nothing I can do to get these files to commit to github. Can anyone see why? These is no error message or warning or anything. When I go to commit these files, they don't appear in the window that shows everything that needs to be commited (ie is new or has changes).
In Eclipse EGit, the preferred way to create commits is by using the Staging View. It shows a clear view of what files are staged and ready to commit and what changed files are not. It supports drag-and-drop to move files from un-staged to staged, as well as commit and commit+push directly in the view.
Open the Staging View and see if those files are in the Unstaged section. If so, drag them to Staged and then commit.
How can I view changes made in whole workspace on a specyfic date in Eclipse? Is there any plugin for that?
Right Click on the file and select "Compare With" > "Local History".
It will list the file history by date. Click on any date will display the history of the file content with current version.
This is what Eclipse supports about local history
Local history in Eclipse
To view the resource history for a file:
Select the file in one of the navigation views. From the context
menu, choose Team > Show History.
The History view will open and show a history for the selected CVS
file.
Note: The History view also shows you all version and branch tags that
are associated with the file.
You have to use SCM(SVN or GIT etc) to see the list of changes on your workspace. Thus you can synchronize the local workspace with the remote repository to see the list of changes.
There is no eclipse built in way to do this. However you can check the local history of a single file as answered by #Laxmikant Gurnalkar.
Also note that you can create local repositories in GIT and SVN.
I have configured SVN repositories in my XCode,I have imported and checked out well.but how can i commit and revert files which are in xCode?
XCode 4.x:
File / Source Control / Commit to get a list of all changed files to commit.
For one file go to navigator, right click and select Source Control. There you'll find commit, revert, etc.
XCode 3.26:
Menu SCM Commit Entire Project
Current file: Commit Changes or Discard Changes but this is only available when your editor pane is split and the file is selected in the list of (changed) files
