Clone a local bundle file
Hi,
In the current clone window I can only select a remote repository or a local directory but not a local bundle file created with the command git bundle create...
To restore it using the git clone command I have to use a shell session.
By the way. To create a bundle with SmartGit I added a custom tool to bundle the whole repo, but how can use it just for a specific branch (selected with the mouse) ?
Ability to invoke diff tools (F4) from commit dialog
I miss the ability to refer back to what is actually in the changes when I am writing the commit message.
Import/Export custom tools
It would nice to add Import/Export to the custom tools so it can be easily shared co-workers.
The best would be to select what tools are exported.
Log: Indicate about available commits at origin
There should be some indication about available commits if opened repository is marked as favorite
Appearance settings (fonts, sizes)
It would be super if user will be able to choose UI options as such as font and its size. It need for customize an interface compactness and presenting more information on one screen.
Show diff between feature branch and develop branch
When we create a new feature branch and make several commits to that branch, we lose track of what changes this branch contains relative to the develop branch. We have to create a pull request (in VSTS) to see the changes between two branches. We want to see this list of changes before we create a pull request.
Implement an equivalent of git check-ignore -v
Sometimes you can't understand why a specific folder/file is ignored... On the CLI the git check-ignore -v is perfect for such use case. Would be nice to have something implemented directly in SmartGit, with a nice output !
Add per-repository --git-dir option
Sometimes developers want/need to move the git repository (aka. .git directory) out of the working directory. The CLI provides an option --git-dir=/foo/bar which allows one to specify a custom .git directory location. As far as I understand, this can not be done with SmartGit.
It would be really cool if we could configure this on a per-repository basis.
Offer Downloads without the prebundled additions.
I understand the idea behind shipping known and tested versions, but I also don't want a couple of different versions of the same software on my computer, so would be nice to offer an advance download.
Currently, I have to delete and symlink the folders, but would be nice to just point it at the folders, as I couldn't seem to find where the JRE folder was set in the config.
