Git integration and generation history.

Ocsidian includes built-in Git support and a generation-specific history system that lets you track, compare, and revert AI-generated changes.

Generation history

Every AI generation creates a checkpoint. You can browse the generation timeline, preview the state at any point, and restore previous versions without affecting your Git history.

Note

Generation checkpoints are stored locally in .ocsidian/history/ and are separate from Git. Add this directory to .gitignore to keep your repository clean.
