Basically what IntelliJ calls local history. It is a feature that has saved my bacon. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/local-history.html

Similar, but not as polished, also exists in VSCode and derivatives, named the same way. Definitely saved me a few times as well.

  • This saved me from accidental resets in the past. I learned it existed because the files were showing up in mdfind
