What is IntelliJ IDEA changelog?

Question

What is IntelliJ IDEA changelog? Does this look like a commit? When adding one of them, I have the following options:

• Name (text box)
• Comment (text box)
• Make this change list active (check box)
• Context Track (check box)

Changelists , when used with Git, is a way to split your index (i.e. the files you added to git) into logical sets of files. See Using Git Locally with IntelliJ IDEA

These change lists may represent everything you want (task, fix, merge, etc.), but they don’t do Git.

You can make one or more change lists.

When you add a file to the Git index, IntelliJ IDEA adds your file to the default change list called ... "default".
