The commit details view offers you almost everything there is to know about a certain commit. It can be accessed in different ways: in the Commits "List" view it makes up the lower part of the screen,
while in the "Recent" view it can be invoked by selecting "Show Commit Details in New Window" from the contextual menu.
The view is structured into three main parts:
Header
The header area is a summary of a commit's most important information. It also contains a contextual menu button for invoking more advanced options.
Changeset
The changeset area is prepended by the complete commit message. While in most other places Tower only shows the commit message's subject for brevity, here the complete message including its body is shown. The main content, though, is the list of files that were changed in this commit. Each concerned file is listed with its path and the type of change. Clicking on a file's path scrolls a diff with its changes into view.
Diffs
Each changed file is not only listed with its path and change type, but also with a diff explaining what was changed in detail. If you click on the "clipboard" icon next to the file's path the corresponding patch will be copied to your clipboard.
