    <p>I'm using Eclipse Indigo SR2 with the (built-in) EGit plugin v.1.3.0.201202151440-r and haven't been able to find any way to easily review all my changes before making a commit.</p> <p>I used Eclipse with SVN for years, and this was always very easy to do. I would typically right-click on my project, select <code>Team-&gt;Synchronize</code>, double-click on the first changed file (in the Team Sync perspective), then hit <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>.</kbd> repeatedly to review all changes in one file, and then proceed to the next file, as I wrote a summary of my changes for the commit message.</p> <p>But of course, git is very different from Subversion, and so my workflow must change. With EGit, "Team Sync" only appears to be useful for reviewing changes between my local files and the remote repository (i.e. before a push to the remote). I need a way to review changes since my last commit to my <em>local</em> repository. I generally don't even care to (re)review changes before a push to remote (and if I did, I'd prefer a simple equivalent of <code>git log</code> to see what commits I'm about to push).</p> <p>If I right-click on my project and select <code>Team-&gt;Commit</code>, I am presented with a window that does <em>almost</em> everything I need to do (select files to stage, commit, write a commit message, amend a previous commit, etc.). What it <em>doesn't</em> allow me to do is quickly and easily review all my changes in a compare editor. I can't believe this capability doesn't exist! It seems I am required to double-click on each individual file, review the changes, close the compare editor, and double-click on the next file. That's ridiculous!</p> <p>TL/DR - I am looking for a simple GUI equivalent (in Eclipse) to do what I am easily able to do from the command line using <code>git vimdiff</code> (where vimdiff is a git alias that uses vimdiff as the "difftool" to cycle through all modified files) followed by <code>git commit</code> (with perhaps a <code>git add</code> or two in between).</p> <p>If no one has a good solution, I am curious about how others handle their commit workflow with EGit. I've been getting along fine committing from the command line (not that Eclipse is happy about that) but I can't believe that EGit is as near-useless as it seems to me. Perhaps my google-fu is not as strong as it once was?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
