Shorten Commit Message Texts in Log/Graph

Urs Meili (SIX) 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 0

Currently, the Graph view of our develop-branch looks like this:

Image 454

With other words: a lot of redundant information, because „Merge pull request #xxx in bla bla from“ usually is not relevant. Just needs a lot of space and forces to make the Graph view unnecessary wide.
Suggestion: allow to configure a regex-replacement that is used to convert the real commit message to a shortened one. Of course, there should be some link indicating the short text. Clicking it, should show the full message.

Accelerator per project basis

Mario123 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 1

We use smartgit in different teams, which all have their customized accelerator. For example one uses the accelerator "Create Release Candidate Tag", which will execute a powershell script to find an appropriate name.

Another team likes to use the same accelerator, which shall be able to behave differently, but shares the same accelerator button (tooltip).


Is it possible to check in accelerator shortcuts on a per-project basis so the settings will stay at project-level?

External tool: add support for ${repositoryRootPath} variable in command input field

Yann Papouin 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 1

Please consider adding support for ${repositoryRootPath} variable in command input field.

We have the same bat file in multiple projects and it would be convenient to be able to call it from the tool menu

Make Ctrl+Z undo works when focused on some text field

Bugged 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 1

For example, If I am typing on this search input field:


Image 451

And I hit `Ctrl+Z`, Smartgit will try to discard changes on some open file instead undo my typing.

I am not focused on something which I can type, it is ok for `Ctrl+Z` to not undo typed text. 


But if I am in an input field, I expect to `Ctrl+Z` to undo text, not discard changes in some random file.

fixup! no longer auto-squashes in interactive rebase

Nathan 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 2

I was able to open the interactive rebase dialog and have "Commit message" and "fixup! Commit message" automatically squash up until a very recent SmartGit update.

This probably broke with the "Auto-Squash" feature with identical commits.  I would rather stay with the standard git format of using "fixup! " prefix.

Highlight filter

david639 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 1

Many times, when you are checking commits files, you don'r realise that you had a filter set (you forget to remove it), and you are seeing the real last commits. Could be nice that smartgit remain you that you are filtering, and you are not seeing the full list of commits.

Allows vertical scrollbars to scroll down more by default 

Bugged 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 0

In my OS by default, the scrollbars show like this:

Image 446


Which is fine. However, when my mouse is near the last item, the scrollbar enlarges/become bigger and almost cover the last item 100%, making it very hard to select it:


Image 445


I suggest allowing the scrollbar scroll down beyond the original limit:

Image 442

So when the scrollbar enlarges, it does not hide the last item:

In Graph tab, allow to drag&drop a commit onto another to 'move and squash'

Florian Kaufmann (Borm) 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 years ago 3

In the Graph tab we can nicely interactively drag&drop commits. We can also squash neighboring commits. It would be nice if these two where quickly doable in one step, apart from the interactive rebase dialog. To me that is an often occurring use case as I often commit a small commit fixing an older unpushed commit. 


Currently, if a commit is dragged over a commit, as opposed to between two commits, the mouse pointer icon changes to 'prohibition sign'. How about if instead the prohibition sign, I could drop the dragged commit, squashing it with the destination commit?

At least for me, since the above use case is important to me, additionally even cooler would be if I could directly "commit" to any given unpushed commit, which behind the scenes would do a temporary commit, move it, squash it.

Commit selects all modified files by default all the time

Philippe P 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 0

More often than not, a commit means to commit everything.  It often happens that I commit the single selected file rather than everything because I failed to first select all the files.  Or I am looking at the index and that is what I commit.

Maybe a warning "you will not commit everything, is that what you want?"  Maybe an alternate "instant commit" that picks up all the modifications.
