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).

## Hacking

To run from local checkout:

yarn install

I didn't complete formulating this sentence perhaps.
But the reason this needs clarification in the first place, is that starting page always says "2. Replace github.com with github.githistory.xyz". Ideally it'd use current domain, e.g. "2. Replace github.com with localhost:3000" or "2. Replace github.com with deploy-preview-139--github-history.netlify.com".


### Netlify deploys

Once you submit a PR to `pomber/git-history` repo, Netlify will try to build it a deploy a publicly accessible preview domain such as https://deploy-preview-137--github-history.netlify.com/.
To get the preview URL, look for "deploy/netlify Deploy preview ready!" line, click on "Details" link to its right.
It will also get updated on each push to the PR branch.

If you want to set up hosting and public previews for branches of your fork *before* you submit a PR:

1. Go to https://app.netlify.com/.
2. Login with GitHub.
3. Click "New site from Git" button.
It'll likely prompt you to give Netlify some access to your repos.
4. Choose your fork of this repo.
5. Under "Build & deploy" settings, set Build command to `yarn build` and Publish directory to `build`.
6. Under "Deploy contexts", configure which branches to build.
