Intellij commit tab missing?

by

Two settings control the commit tab: one for its interface and one for its window. You may need to perform either or both steps depending on the state of your intellij.

Windows

  1. Interface: Settings | Version Control | Commit, then enable Use non-modal commit interface
  2. Window: go to Advanced Settings then Enable Commit tool window

Mac

  1. Interface: Preferences (⌘+,) | Version Control | Commit, then enable Use non-modal commit interface
  2. Window: go to View | Tool Windows | Commit [credit @Timofey]

For quick access to almost anything in intellij (settings, code, VCS, etc), press Shift twice to open the search anywhere window. Copy/paste above text to get directly to both settings. [credit @Marcelo]
