GitFlow: Switch between configurations (prefixes)
In our environment we have two different main branches:
PROD/develop (for further development which should go into production) and ENTW/develop (for development which should go to testsystems only in order to go into production in about a quarter).
Would be nice to be able to switsh between GitFlow-Configurations to have the right prefixes to use the GitFlow workflow.
GitFlow: Better PullRequest-Integration (e.g. Bitbucket)
We would like to have a better integration of Pull Requests for feature-, hotfix- and support-branches.
In our environment these branches could be merged with Pull Request only (push branch and create a pull request).
So e.g. FINISH a feature-branch should not merge it onto local develop branch.
Fix the ours versus theirs terminology.
The names are switched in some situations where 'ours' actually refers to 'theirs' in two different dialogs. You have to look at the git hash to know what is truly happening sometimes. Just remove 'ours' and 'theirs', because it's a bad design paradigm, and often misleading. Simply show the hash and the name of the branch and/or author where those hashes come from.
Right-click to add a file's folder to the .gitignore please!
There's no way to put folder ignores in without editing the file directly, which seems unnecessarily effortful. I seem to remember having this behavior once, maybe it was in SourceTree, but currently interaction with .gitignore is not ideal.
Zooming/ Scaling
It would be extremely useful to be able to adjust the scaling on the fly, preferably with ctrl + and ctrl -.
I use SmartGit on a set up with multiple different resolution monitors and scaling, and it seems to be by chance which scaling SmartGit will launch in at any given time. I want to be able to adjust it manually.
Failing this, the software should scale based on which monitor I drag it onto. At the moment it is sometimes far too small for my 4k monitor, or far too large for my 1080p monitor, meaning I am restricted to using it on the monitor it is 'launched for' at any given time.
Define action for double click on modified files - would like to open it in my Notepad++
Currently double clicking a modified file opens File Compare.
I'd like an option (which I couldn't find) to set what happens when I double click, for example, open in the editor of my choice.
Please add some short 'how to' videos - who's got time to read documentation? I always forget how to do things.
I'm not a GIT 'power user'. I always forget how to do things and I get cofused about what gets merged into what. Some short 'how to' videos would be good for a quick refresher. I really don't have time for lengthy documentation.
see how many commis we are pushing
show number (and probably ling to list) how many commits will be pushed to branch (intellij allways shows list of commits that will be pushed to branch)
Show high-level branch graph
It would be great to have a view where you could see merges between branches in a git repo.
The use case is the following:
- You have several branches in your project: master, dev, stable, feat-xx, rel-xx, etc...
- You want to see the merge commits between those branches. When they are done, by whom, the commit id, and the option to see what was done since the last merge between two given branches.
- Individual commits do not matter a lot, as they add a lot of noise.
For instance this branching model has an image that would show what the view would look like:

Traditionnally, you rather see an horizontal display in powerpoint slides, but it would be really nice that the tool generates this kind of view
A better way to show current selected branch/tag in the Branches window
Currently the Windows' client uses a triangle that looks too much like a collapsed tree node. It would be nicer and easier to see if the entire line was highlighted; maybe a different background color.
