Can't find 'open on GitHub' for 'Show History for Selection' since update

Sorry if this is a duplicate- I couldn't find any mention of it. I'm not sure which update removed it, but I've been using the feature pretty often up until maybe two weeks ago.

I used to be able to go to the History for Selection window & open certain commits in GitHub to see other files that were changed in that commit. I don't see the option for opening in github anymore in that window, but I do still see it when right-clicking git blame. Does anyone know if there's a setting or configuration I change to re-enable it?

I used to see ‘Open on GitHub’ in this context menu
I can still see ‘Open on GitHub’ in git blame, but this is only for the most recent commit





I'm using macOS 15.6 & 2025.02



Thanks!

Could you please try it in the latest 2025.2.1 Preview build: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/IDEA-A-2100662434/IntelliJ-IDEA-2025.2-Latest-Builds#download-intellij-idea-202521-preview? I am not able to reproduce with it.

Hi ROliveira, It looks like “Open on GitHub” action is exposed as VCS | GitHub | View in Browser

Well IDK why or how but I restarted the IDE and now I see it back at the context menu by right clicking on the file. Thanks!
