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 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)
I've renamed my remote repository and created a new local repository from it. How do I change it within EGit in Eclipse?
Previous answer list below also has issues. The only solution appears to be:
Backup .project, etc. files
Delete existing project
Import existing local git repository as a "general project"
Put backed up files into the new project
Restart Eclipse
Rename, per se, is not the actual operation -- changing repository is the correct mindset to solving the problem according to a coworker.
Select 'Team->Disconnect'
Select 'Team->Share' On 'Share Project' dialog
Select Git and click Next
Unselect 'Use or create repository in parent folder of project'
Select the new local repository
Checkbox the project name showing correct current location and target location
Click 'Finish'
Eclipse will move existing files from previous local repository to the new local repository.
I just renamed a repository. I use LiClipse, an Eclipse variant which includes EGit. I believe there is no way to do this operation with the EGit UI. Here's how I did it outside of EGit and Eclipse, without confusing them.
In the Git perspective, right-click on the repo, and select Remove repository from view... from the pop-up menu.
A dialogue box offers to delete the repository from the workspace. I interpreted this to mean, delete the repo directory and everything in it from my disk. Press the "No" button.
In the programming language-specific perspective (PyDev, in my case), right-click on the project, and select Delete... from the pop-up menu.
A confirmation dialogue box appears. In this case, I interpret it as just confirming that I want to remove the project's entry from the project list in that perspective. There is a checkbox, "Delete this project from workspace?". Leave that checkbox unchecked. Press the "Yes" button to confirm.
In the finder or command-line, find the repository directory, and change the directory name to the new name.
Return to Eclipse, and the Git perspective.
Select menu item, File... Open projects from file system.... (There is also a small icon with a "+", above the projects list, with tooltip "Add an existing local Git repository to this view". I believe it is different but equivalent.) A dialogue box appears.
Select the (renamed) repository directory. Click Next or Finish to complete the wizard. The Repository appears in the list of Git repositories in EGit.
Return to the programming language-specific perspective appropriate for that repository.
Select menu item, File... Open projects from file system.... A dialogue box appears.
Select the (renamed) repository directory. Click Next or Finish to complete the wizard. The Repository appears in the list of Git repositories in that language-specific perspective.
The project-specific Eclipse settings appear to be stashed away in a file .project within the repository, so they are not modified by the rename happening overhead.
I have been using Egit and Eclipse together for well over a year. I recently upgraded my computer and had to reinstall everything. Previously whenever I would make a change to a file it would immediately get picked up by Egit and show with the red highlight and star next to the file name in the project explorer.
I have everything back up and running exactly as it was, however whenever I make a change the change is not picked up by Egit. I have to perform a 'git status' in order for the files to show as ready to be staged in the file explorer. Am I doing something wrong to have Egit automatically detect changed files and has anyone else had this problem?
which version of EGit are you using
do you get the egit team menu if you right-click any resource in your git tracked project ?
if not then you need to do "Team > Share > Git", then check "Use or create repository in
parent folder of project". If you are using a very recent nightly build version this
will be checked automatically.
when you modify a file tracked by (e)git a text decorator ">" should
appear in front of the modified file
as soon as you stage the modified file (Team > Add) the decorator should show the star
also the staging view should always show the git status for all modified files
You need to "Add to index" all files again probably
Track Changes Click Team > Add on the project node. (This menu item
may read Add to Index on recent versions of Egit)
(From the EGit docs:)
What I've found is that you need to make sure that your git repositories are showing up in the Eclipse Git Repositories view.
In the repositories view, you click on the [very] little Git icon with a green + (plus) sign to Add and Existing Local Git Repository.
Browse to the directory that already has a .git subdir and click Finish. You should then see you local repo show up in that list.
Then you can right click on the repo while still in the repositories view and add pull down to Import Projects.
"Import existing projects" is selected. Click Next.
Your project should be checked off. Add it to a working set if necessary. Click Next (maybe Finish).
I had a similar issue where all my changes just disappeared. Somehow, Eclipse had unselected my Git repository. Once I selected it again, they all came back.
If you have already added your files to Stage then change the branch it will ask you to commit/stash/reset
I faced the same problem. From your git repository view: Right-click -> Show in git staging
For me I have clicked Team --> Advanced --> No Assume Unchanged, fixed the issue
I faced the same problem using eclipse version 2021.12. Whenever I made changes on file, the eclipse didn't detect it.
I solve it by using Intelij IDE.
i just faced this problem by now, and i resolved by clicking in button Refresh in Git Staging:
my question is in the title. How can I delete a file from the repository but
keeping it locally ? In other words, an eclipse subsersive equivalent to the
"svn --keep-local" command line
When I right-click on my file, the only Delete item I can found is even
not in the TEAM menu but in the general file menu. By deleting it, it will be removed from the repository at the next commit BUT also locally.
any idea ?
thank you very much

Open the SVN Repository Exploring perspective.
Using either the SVN Repositories or SVN Repository Browser view, navigate to the file you want to delete.
Right-click and select Delete...
This will delete the file in the repository, but will keep the local copy intact.
