You can view the the history of changes to a file in your source repository in the Amazon CodeCatalyst console.
This can help you understand the changes made to the file by various commits to the branch where you choose
to view the history of the file. For example, if you view the history of changes to the readme.md
file in the main branch of the source repository, you will see a list of commits that included changes
to that file in that branch.
