Can you pull different versions of the same branch in Xcode?

In the video, he pulled from the master branch's latest version. But can't you pull other versions from that branch and how?

From my understanding, you would want to pull the branch. Then you would use 'git checkout [Your commit id]'. Commit ids are found with 'git log' and look like this: 54b11d42e12dc6e9f070a8b5095a4492216d5320.

The instructor did say that you could pull from other versions. Unfortunately I cannot tell you how. I am just getting introduced to GIT by watching these videos.

A 'work around' would be to go to Source Control -> History. You will see a list of all of the commits. You can click on a commit, then copy the code.

To get to previous versions go to View -> Version Editor -> Show Comparison View. You can compare different versions by clicking on the clock icon (on the bottom between the two versions), or the two menus on the left and right of said clock.

When thee are changes between the codes, you will have an icon that gives you options to change from one version to another.

And you aways have copy & paste.
