# Git: Versioning View

The Git Versioning view provides you with a real-time list of all of the changes made to files within a selected folder of your local working tree. It opens by default in the bottom panel of the IDE, listing added, deleted or modified files.

By default, the Versioning view displays a list of all modified files within the selected package or folder in your Working Tree.

The following table lists the Git commands available in the toolbar of the Versioning view:

Name | Function
--- | ---
Changes between HEAD and Working Tree | Displays a list of files that are either already staged or only modified/created and not staged yet.
Changes between HEAD and Index | Displays a list of files that are staged.
Changes between Index and Working Tree | Displays files that have differences between their staged and working tree states.
Refresh Statuses | Refreshes the status of the selected files and folders. Files displayed in the Versioning window can be refreshed to reflect any changes that may have been made externally.
Open Diff | Opens the Diff Viewer providing you with a side-by-side comparison of your local copies and the versions maintained in the repository.
Revert Modifications | Displays the Revert Modifications dialog box.
Commit Changes | Displays the Commit dialog box.

Note: You can access other Git commands in the Versioning view by selecting a table row that corresponds to a modified file, and choosing a command from the right-click menu.

You can click the column headings above the listed files to sort the files by name, status or location.
