# Commits

Open **Commits** from a repository's **Code** toolbar to browse its history.
You need read access to the repository.

The ref switcher above the list changes which branch or tag is shown; without a
ref, the default branch is used. Each row shows the commit summary, the short
hash, the author, and the relative commit time, and links to the
[commit](https://git.cafe/docs/repositories/commit.md) page. The heading shows the total when the whole history is
listed.

Limits:

- Only the first page of history is shown; the list says so when it is cut
  short. Older commits cannot be paged to.
- No author or date filters.
- A **Verified** or **Unverified** badge follows the summary of a signed commit
  when your instance provides signature verification. Unsigned commits and
  unavailable verification show no badge.
