Checkpoints

Git-based checkpoint system for easy rollback. Create snapshots of your work and restore to any previous state with one click.

Features

Auto-Detect Changes

ClaudeShip automatically detects when you have uncommitted changes. The checkpoint panel shows “Unsaved changes” when files are modified.

Create Checkpoint

1. Make changes to your project
2. Click the Checkpoint tab
3. Enter a checkpoint message
4. Click Save

Timeline View

See all your checkpoints in a chronological timeline:

• Checkpoint message
• Time since creation
• Files changed count
• Insertions (+) and deletions (-)

Diff Viewer

Click any checkpoint to see:

• List of changed files
• File status (added/modified/deleted)
• Line-by-line diff
• Color-coded changes

Restore

Rollback to any checkpoint:

1. Click a checkpoint in the timeline
2. Review the diff
3. Click Restore button
4. Confirm the restore

Checkpoint Information

Each checkpoint tracks:

• Hash: Git commit hash
• Message: Your description
• Timestamp: When created
• Files Changed: Number of files modified
• Insertions: Lines added
• Deletions: Lines removed

Keyboard Shortcuts

Best Practices

• Write descriptive checkpoint messages
• Create checkpoints before major changes
• Review diff before restoring
• Use checkpoints instead of manual Git commands

Difference from Git

Checkpoints are built on Git but simplified:

• No need to use terminal
• No branch management
• No merge conflicts
• One-click restore

However, you can still use standard Git commands in your project if needed!
