README
# [Git History](https://githistory.xyz)
Quickly browse the history of files in any git repo:
1. Go to a file in **GitHub** (or **GitLab**, or **Bitbucket**)
1. Replace `github.com` with `github.githistory.xyz`
1. There's no step three
[Try it](https://github.githistory.xyz/babel/babel/blob/master/packages/babel-core/test/browserify.js)

## Extensions
### Browsers
You can also add an `Open in Git History` button to GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket with the [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-history-browser-ex/laghnmifffncfonaoffcndocllegejnf) and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/github-history/) extensions.
Or you can use a bookmarklet.
```javascript
javascript: (function() {
var url = window.location.href;
var regEx = /^(https?\:\/\/)(www\.)?(github|gitlab|bitbucket)\.(com|org)\/(.*)$/i;
if (regEx.test(url)) {
url = url.replace(regEx, "$1$3.githistory.xyz/$5");
window.open(url, "_blank");
} else {
alert("Not a Git File URL");
}
})();
```
### Local Repos
You can use Git History for local git repos with the [CLI](https://github.com/pomber/git-history/tree/master/cli) or with the [VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pomber.git-file-history).
