I know there is a way to open Notebook history dialogbox using Cell > Notebook History, but since there can be a lot of history the dialog box can run very slowly with lags. Is there a way to get a list of last, say, 100 actions done in a notebook programmatically. Since a Mathematica notebook is able to reference itself, I am quite sure there must be a way. Can somebody please help me.

Here is a small example:

Labeled @@@ MaximalBy[
    {Max[{CurrentValue[#, CellChangeTimes], 0}], #} & /@ Cells[nb]
   , First,
   10
] // TimelinePlot

enter image description here

Does this fit your needs?

    $\begingroup$ @user13892 I don't think so, but I may be wrong. You'd have to setup a versioning system first. See: 6435 or github.com/WolframResearch/GitLink $\endgroup$
