          I think there is no out-of-the-box support for that in VS Code.



          You can install a plugin to give you similar functionality. Eg.:



          https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=micnil.vscode-checkpoints



          or the more famous



          https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xyz.local-history



          Some details may need to be configured: The VS Code search gets confused sometimes because of additional folders created by this type of plugins. You can configure it to ignore such folders or change their locations.

            Hopefully they will implement a build-in feature - but thanks, great plugin.

          I built an extension called Checkpoints, an alternative to Local History. Checkpoints has support for viewing history for all files (that has checkpoints) in the tree view, not just the currently active file. There are some other minor differences aswell, but overall they are pretty similar.
