Add new repo to the currently selected group

alyst 8 years ago updated by Davide F 6 months ago 14

Currently the new repository is appended to the bottom of the list, it would be nice if it's added to the currently selected repository group instead (or add the "repository group" select box to the "Add repository..." dialog and make the currently selected group the default option). It's tedious to have to scroll and drag the new repo through the long list.

+100, this has been my main gripe with SmartGit for a while.

I am so eagerly waiting for this!! :)

You already can get it from http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/preview and invoking Help | Check for Latest Build.

As a companion to this feature it would be nice to add a 'Clone Repository...' menu in the group context menu.

Please create a new request.

In the latest 18.2 preview build SmartGit tries to find a group where sibling directories already are stored. If none is found, the selected repository/group is used.

Hi I'm working with 22.1.6 but the group ist still randomly selected when the first repository of the new group is added. I think the "sibling" feature is not really of great use. If I select a group, the new repo shall be added there.

Set the low-level property repository.suggestMostAppropriateGroup to false.

I'll suggest that the default for this property should be false. My experience is that SmartGit isn't very good at figuring out where new repositories should go, and I doubt that it could be all that good, given that users have so many different ways of naming their repositories and their SmartGit repository entries.

Can it be that the suggestMostAppropriateGroup functionality is not working when one searches repos in a selected folder? I work with version 23.1.3 and the new repos are anyway added at the end of the repos list (in the main branch)
