Suggestion:

Commit message editor shall make suggestions while you type. Those suggestions would be based on

• Keywords in diffs for current commit
• Filenames affected by current commit

Rationale:

It's quite typical to list affected entity names in commit message. Like, "Moved FooBar global variable from Generic.cpp to Foo.cpp". Having commit message editor suggest those keywords will make writing commit messages easier. I heard TortoiseSVN does that.

It's really difficult to find setting because you need to browse every tab searching for it. Would be great if it was possible to search like it is implemented in PhpStorm.

I have several remote repositories bitbacket, github etc. I want to push in each repositories in one click. Now i should to edit the configs manually and push to every repository.

i hope smartgit do something with menu bar, set small size menu bar

E.g. denote moved hunks

Please provide samples where SmartGit's compare produces sub-optimal results.

I am sure you can find some place to add "Stash" somewhere inside this popup menu :-)

Hello,

Summary : introduce ability to perform rebase with --update-ref, and enhance UI around it

Use case solved :
- you work on a big feature, and you have to split your work into multiple PRs. You have therefore many branches and Pull requests based on each other (also called chained PR, PR trains).
- You are working with a git flow where you occasionally need to rebase/squash/force-push to integrate fixes in your feature branches before merging them

The problem : Suppose you need to fix a bug on the very first branch with a rebase on the original commit, you'd have to also rebase all other branches. --update-ref allows to do this once

Additional enhancements possible : the smartgit UI could tell you which other branches had their refs updated, and suggest to push them as well. It is unsure if this is always the desired behavior (for example If you are working with a teammate on this PR-train, and you need to better co-ordinate) 

Original message : 

I just discovered this feature from git called --update ref released actually a couple years ago in 2022

https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-38/#rebase-dependent-branches-with-update-refs

https://medium.com/@bruce.ho98/a-better-way-to-rebase-stacked-prs-aa9b4dc600f1

I was wondering if this is something that could be introduced to Smartgit ? It could be either silently (just applying the parameter) or even better, having some UI feedback about the list of other updated branches, along with support regarding pushing all those branches.

It could be a killer feature for teams committed to making small PRs and often needing to cascade them.

Notes : there are some tools that seem to provide similar behavior to rebase --update-refs available online like https://github.com/realyze/pr-train

Best,

Cyril

I can't emphasise how many times per day I fight this issue: I change something in my editor, double-click in Smartgit to see the differences and I realise that tab settings is wrong. So I go to View -> Settings and adjust it. Yet again. Sure, I can save it as default but that works only until I switch to another repository.

How much easier my life would be if Smartgit read .editorconfig (https://editorconfig.org) from given repository!

Add ability for Squash context menu in log view to work for non-consecutive commits. Currently it only works for consecutive commits. If non-consecutive commits are chosen then smartgit would trigger a interactive rebase that does the following:

- reorder selected commits so they are consecutive

- then squash them

If there is an merge issue then smartgit drops into interactive rebase resolve step so use can resolve (or cancel).
