Github History Navigation

Is there a way to go back and forth through the commit history on github?

I would like something similar to Trac, where if I click on a specific set of changes in the change log, links for Next Change and Previous Change will appear.

Most pages on GitHub support keyboard shortcuts. To see the shortcuts, just click ? on any GitHub page.

So, if you are looking at a specific commit, you will see several keyboard shortcuts available (in the Browsing Commits section), including: p for parent commit . So, when you are on a specific commit, press p and you will go to the previous (parent) commit. Unfortunately, I do not see a shortcut to go to the next (child) commit.

Also note that all commit pages have links to a parent located near the top of the page (look for txt "1 parent" with a short SHA that will be a link to the parent commit).
