we are using pull_request_template.md files.  when creating a pull request, if this file is present, the PR should include this content

I wanted to update this with a link:

Improve pull request descriptions with pull request templates - Azure Repos | Microsoft Learn

I see there is a similar request. here:
Support GitHub PR Templates / General / SmartGit (userecho.com)

The templates are in different files, but the 'ask' is probably the same. I should point this feature is extremely important for companies that have compliance / ISO workflows... The create PR feature from within smart git is not very useful if you have to 'copy paste' the template after the PR is made.

It will be comfortable to see Brunch's name in Title of Main window in Task panel

For Example:

As noted in https://groups.google.com/g/smartgit/c/Sy3h_ticc3w?pli=1 the commit pane cannot be resized under a certain size. Unfortunately the reply only mentioned vertical size, and I'm not sure I fully understand the reason (it could show more options, but I don't know which ones). In addition, I care about horizontal size, as I'm placing SmartGit on the left half of my monitor which leaves only 1280px width; not much to read repository names. Look below how the Commit pane is huge compared to the others:

I don't want to change view mode or move all my panes around just for when I temporarily move SmartGit to a half monitor. I would rather have the possibility to resize things however I want, and take the responsibility to make some parts less readable than others. Plus, I don't see a reason for the minimum with on Commit pane: there is more than enough space there.

Add UI support for https://git-scm.com/docs/git-range-diff

It would be great to make it possible for repository group icons to be either with customizable colors or with customizable icon images (from a predefined set of icons for instance)

So, it would make the tree of repositories easier readable and navigable.

Hi, I contribute to a few projects that require the "Signed-off-by:" footer in the commit message. 

I'm forever forgetting to add it manually though, so have to ammend commit messages to add it, force push, etc.

While I know there's an option to add this in the Local->Commit dialog box, I always use the Commit pane in the main window which doesn't expose this option.

Also, the "Edit commit message" dialog box also does not have an option for this, and it's tedious to type it manually (without typos).

It would be great if there was a per-project setting to always add this (similar / next to to the options to add GPG signing to commits)

Separately, it'd be handy if the checkbox to add this was also added to the "Edit commit message" dialog.

Cheers,

Andrew

In the log, if a commit includes a submodule pointer commit, tag with the submodule name and use a different symbol or other graphical representation on the graph.

In the Log window, when you select 2 separate files from the same commit, the Changes pane could show the diff between them, instead of showing nothing.

This means that:
• the Changes pane won't be useless in this case, and that
• this would be like a quicker version of the Show Changes context menu item.

It seems that in recent version of SmartGit, word navigation stops before and after every space.

This means that if you have a commit message "Added level 2" with the caret after 2, you need to press Ctrl+Left 3 times to go before "level".

I would rather have the caret skip any space before the next word in the pressed direction, as in other editors, so you press Ctrl+Left/Right as many times as there are words to skip.

In general, such editors also skip multiple spaces before a word. Although YMMV and you may want not to skip if there are 2+ spaces or more. Personally I'd just skip them and let the user go back with Ctrl+Left then Ctrl+Right, or reversely.

Generally speaking, if the user still wants to stop at the other boundary of the word, they can always play with Left/Right and Ctrl+Left/Right for an extra adjustment, it shouldn't take more than one extra input.

AVIF and WEBP are modern image formats that are gaining in popularity. It would be nice to be able to preview the selected images in the SmartGit Changes view prior to committing. Actual image diffs would be great, but just being able to view the image would help a lot.
