GitLab: option to open merge request in browser
An option to open a merge request in gitlab (browser) would be very useful (to reply to comments, etc.)
Add Open in GitHub to context menus
I would like to see "Open in GitHub" in the context menu for just about everything: repositories, folders, files, remotes, branches, tags, and commits.
Align chunks in compact change display
Here's a random commit from Unreal Engine as an example why this would be useful:
You can see how it's somewhat clunky to read, it gets even worse with larger differences.
Much easier when it's aligned!
Remember multiple window instances with positions and opened repositories
For example, if you have the Google Chrome setting `Continue where you left off`, enabled:
And you exit Google Chrome with `File -> Exit`, or you computer just crashes (i.e., abruptly restarts), the next time you open Google Chrome, it restores (i.e., opens back) all opened windows and tabs.
Currently, if I have 2 Working Tree opened, each one with a different repository and I do `File -> Exit` with SmartGit, the next time SmartGit reopens, it will open back only one (1) window, with the 2 repositories opened.
This behavior is not desired because if I had two (2) windows opened, each one with a different repository open, I would like for SmartGit to keep it that way, the next time I open it.
It also would be nive if SmartGit can:
- Restore my two (2) opened windows, in case my computer crashes (i.e., abruptly restarts)
- Also restore any Log Window, in case I had one of them opened.
Commit window: show current user
I often switch between work and private PC and on each between work and private repositories. It therefore happens that I sometimes accidentally commit with my private email address to a company repository or vise versa.
It would be nice to see the current user (name and email) you commit with in the commit dialog to avoid such situations.
Output window: more flexible text selection
Instead of whole line selecting, can we select a portion of a line, so that we can easily copy, say, a URL or git command? Thanks! :)
Switching perspectives should also use perspective-specific table columns and toolbars
A panel might have different size in different perspectives. But currently widths of columns in a panel are the same in all perspectives. Which does not make much sense. E.g. I want to have sufficiently wider "Files" panel in "Review" perspective. But if column widths are the same, it is not that convenient.
Please make column width independent for different perspectives.
New commit & squash command
From time to time I find that one of my modifications would better fit in an unpushed commit that is not the last one. For example I've git commit A, B, C, I have modifications in my working tree, and I find that one hunk should fit in commit B.
In such situation, I :
* commit the concerned hunks
* in the commit dialog select the commit B message
* commit
* in the log view, launch an interactive rebase
* click on the "auto squash" button
* validate
Having in the commit dialog the option to directly squash staged hunks in a defined commit would be fine !
So in this example, stage the hunks, open the commit dialog, select the squash option, selection commit B, validate.
Branches view: have one tree level for exactly one path-segment
Currently branches and tags are combined if they differ by the last part (after the last '/') only. Instead it would be better to group them on multiple levels, for each path segment.
