VCS highlighting - diff from another branch

Answered

Hi.

Sometimes I find myself not pushing any code for couple of days because I would lose the color code indicating the changes I've made. If it's a big project, the colors really do a great job, and it makes it easier to dive back in when switching projects, for example. 

So my question is, is it possible to keep the coloring on changed/added/deleted files, even if I commit the changes? For example, I would like the diffs to be tracked against another branch, or even a certain commit?

Thanks in advance. :)

No it is not possible, as the colors are based on the vcs status - and git status command output in particular.

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I can try to find a plugin which could do something similar.

Cheers!

There is Git Scope plugin that appears to do something similar https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10083-git-scope
