Support "Follow Only First Parent" in Cherry-Pick and Merge Dialogs
I use "Follow Only First Parent" in my log and love it, but it's not available in the Cherry-Pick or Merge dialogs where I think it would also be useful. It could follow the log setting, or have an independent control...but being able to change it within the dialog would probably be desired.
Show function/method name in a floating header in the diff panels
It would be cool if the diff panels could show a floating header with the current function or method, so you don't have to scroll up and down to figure out the context.
For example, GitHub does this with a blue banner:
That `handle_two_factor` method is on line 103.
Optionally display commit messages with fixed-width font
Add an option for setting the font of the 'Commit' window to a fixed size font, so the commit message is shown with that instead of a variable size font.
Also, an option for en-/disabling auto word wrap in that window would be nice to have.
Pull/Fetch: should respect the 'skipFetchAll' option
Git offers a configuration option named skipFetchAll (available since Git v1.6.6) that causes commands to process all repositories (git fetch --all and git remote update) to ignore remotes having this setting.
When fetching all remotes (either interactively from the Pull button with Fetch from all remote option checked, or from Background fetch), SmartGit should respect Git's skipFetchAll config option.
Drop local data of multiple pull requests at once
After locally reviewing many Pull Requests, the "Pull Requests" tree in the Log window gets longer and longer. So I'd like to clean up the tree by dropping their local data. But the "Drop Local Data" context menu item is not available if multiple PRs are selected, it's only available on single selection:
Rebase: support <--root> / <--committer-date-is-author-date> <--ignore-date> option
Support rebase and edit the first commit.
Support give an option to deal with date when rebase(or a global option).
Output: ignore color sequences in (hook) output
This topic is about ignoring coloring sequences. If you want to see colors, vote for topic #1580.
Add a separate "Output (Terminal Mode)" window that is simply a read-only Git Bash shell to display the output of the last operation. It will not show the history like the original "Output" window does, only the last operation (if the last SmartGit operation is a group of git commands, then just show that group of commands).
Users can either display both windows, or switch between the two, depending on their needs.
Reason: In the project that I'm working on, it is impossible to read the hook errors in SmartGit.:
I always have to open the shell, which is a pain:
Support Windows task bar jump list
Akin to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, it would be great if you could right-click on the SmartGit icon in the Windows task bar and choose from a list of recent and/or pinned repositories.
Compare: improve View|Show Long Current Lines for multi-line changes
At the moment in the bottom of the window comparison, which displays a one-line change to the code in horizontal view (top row from the left half, and the bottom from the right) both strings are displayed only if there is a 1-1 correspondence of lines and this is only the case if the entire changed block has same size on left and right. For example, in the following case, the top row appears empty in this view because it does not meet the requirements described above:
But this could be implemented by detecting appropriate "matching" lines:
