It would be useful if Everything could browse/search files inside git repositories — not just the working tree, but files as they exist in committed history.
Everything already does something analogous with zip/rar/7z archives via container filenames. A git repo's object store is conceptually similar: a content-addressed archive of file snapshots. Exposing committed files (perhaps scoped to HEAD, or selectable branches/commits) would let you search across your entire codebase including files that have been deleted or moved.
I searched the forum and couldn't find this suggested before. Interested to know if it's feasible or if others would find it useful.
Feature request: index files from git commits
Re: Feature request: index files from git commits
You could probably do something now by saving the git repo as an EFU file list.
I will consider a plugin to index git repositories.
Thank you for the suggestion.
