Working directory diff with Git Extensions

In version 3.00.00.4433 the setting is found here:

Tools->Settings->Git Extensions->General

Show current working directory changes as an artificial commit


In latest versions (I have version 3.3.0) this option is moved from settings to View -> Show artificial commits menu.

You will see local changes when select Working directory pseudo-commit in commit graph.


The answer from Henk is great for older versions of GitExtensions. However, I am using version 2.51 and the steps are different. Here are the steps I took:

  • On the top ribbon, go to Tools --> Settings

  • Find the "Git Extensions" list item and check the box for "Show current working directory changes an an artificial commit"

GitExtensions has a setting to enable the 'pseudo-commit' your mention. Just go to settings, open the tab Git Extensions en check the option 'Show current changes in revision graph'.

This option is disabled by default.
