Hi Guille - I have tried the repo browser with the new iceberg loaded in Pharo 6.1 and I couldnât see how it helps me? (I will make a firm point of using 7 now as I think Iâve now got a reasonable grasp of how things should work).
From the threads below - how would I find the commit with my missing class - Sean has pointed me to a git query that helps with that (and presumablyq is something we can plug into iceberg - maybe I will even take a look).
Having identified the hash with the class I want - getting to it is awkward (there is no search - again pretty easy for us to plug in, but something to do) Having got to my commit - how can I retrieve one class? Maybe this is something only in Pharo 7 with Calypso? All I can see are diffs - so Iâd have to copy and paste 20 methods and a class def. doable, but painful. Iâm hoping there is a way to get a shadow copy of the commit from the tonel file and then use it to restore classes and methods? As this sounds like a decent chunk of work, Iâm guessing itâs not done yet? As a fallback, Any thoughts on why git wonât let me checkout a file from that commit? Something about the pathspec (is it mangled in some way)? And if I could restore a tonel file - would iceberg then recognise it to bring it back in, or Would I need to use some filestream foo to do that (as this would at least be a viable workaround for now)?

Hi,
Regarding history, right now we have a history browser implemented as a Calypso plugin, that is open using context menu => history or the little box button on the top right of the method pane (second button from the left in the picture):

That button will nowadays only be shown if the method's package is linked to an iceberg repository. Once you click it, you will have the entire history of the method.

With the possibility to install that version of the method (among others).
Now, regarding the recovery of deleted classes/methods, have you tried the repository browser? Go to Iceberg, right click on a repository and select "Repository". You can there select a commit in history and then in the tabs below see the diff between - your current version and the selected commit - the selected commit and its main parent
Of course any of these can be improved, but if you have concrete requests, it is much easier :)

git log --full-history -- */PrismicBlock.class*
(I got my wildcard slightly wrong for tonel format) - although the beauty of the one I gave was that it shows you all deleted classes (in case you donât know the name)
Iâm still confused why I canât checkout the deleted class though - damn you git, for the cryptic error: : error: pathspec 'PrismicDemo/PrismicBlock.class.st' did not match any file(s) known to git.
I was hoping a quick hack to iceberg might be to OSProcess a few choice git commands to help us along while we work out better ways to do things.

Interesting.
When I searched for commits affecting the deleted class SuDebianKey:
$ git log --full-history -- */SuDebianKey.class/properties.json
I got back a list of commits (obviously with the last chronologically being the deletion):
