how to see the git commands executed by Intellij

Question

In Eclipse when you interact with a Subversion server, there is an SVN console which displays all the svn commands that the ide performs against the subversion server.

• Was there an equivalent for Intellij and Git?

Thanks, Mark.

Answer 1

You can get the actual git commands with timestamps in the "Version Control" view.

You can enable that in View -> Tool Windows -> Version Control

Update for more recent versions:

The tool window is now named according to your VCS e.g. Git, Mercurial. To see the commands, you need to switch to the Console tab.

Answer 2

Intellij 2020.2 this option can be seen in the console section of git, shortcut for vcs(git here) is alt+9, see the screeen shot:
