The Commits area is where you can inspect your repository's commits.
IMPORTANT:It's essential to understand how the Sidebar and the Commits area relate to each other. The list of commits shown in the Commits area depends upon which item is selected in the Sidebar. If no branch is selected in the sidebar, history for all branches is shown. If one or many branches are selected, history for the selected branches is shown.
You can choose between two different view modes by clicking one of the toggle buttons on the right:
"Recent"
The "Recent" view was designed to give you a quick overview of the most recent activity in your repository. It only shows you the (by default) 10 latest commits in a neatly arranged view.
"List"
The "List" view, on the other hand, offers you a classic, "email style" presentation of your repository's commits (by default it shows the 500 latest commits). It is vertically divided into two main sections: a list of commits (upper part) and a details area (lower part), that shows all the details about the commit that was selected in the list above.
You can filter and search the list in case you are looking for a specific commit.
