Search branch name while typing in "Add branch.."

b4nd0ler0 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 1

This is a common workflow here: create a branch off current branch to rebase

  • Having branch "Feature longname" we're going to rebase it onto developement and name it "Feature longname-r-1"
  • Click on [Branch] button and in the Add branch at current HEAD commit modal type "Feature long"

Expected: the branch names are searched and "Feature longname" string is inserted in the text box so we just add "r-1" and be done.

Index vs Working Tree - swap places

HGH 5 years ago updated 4 years ago 3

Every tool has the Index on the left and the Working Tree on the right. Why was this configuration designed as the default?

Is it possible to swap their places (The Working Tree on the left, the Index on the right)? This would be more logical for me and also be consistent with other tools I have to use.

Please make swapping the location of these panes easily configurable.

Allow checking out by default as detached head

Ram Rachum 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

When I press Enter on a commit in Graph, I always want to check it out without creating a new branch. I have that option in the dialog, but the default is a branch, and I wish there was a checkbox "Set this choice as default".

Submodule: option to add its children recursively

Patrick Lehmann 5 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 5 years ago 0

When adding a submodule to the current repository (parent), a submodule can be added, which will be added, initialized, fetched and checked out. If such a repository contains further submodules, they are shown as uninitialized submodules.

SmartGit should support adding / checking out submodules inclusive sub-submodules like clone does.

Suggestion:

  • add an boolean option / checkbox to the submodule-add dialog for recursive initializations.

Also keep offering misspellings suggestions words when using Language -> Use All

Bugged 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 0

When using Language -> Use All, Smartgit stops offering misspellings suggestions. Its only works by setting the language to either `Portuguese` or `en_US`:

Support Stage/commit renamed files with "core.ignoreCase=false" on case-insensitive file system

Bugged 5 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 5 years ago 2

I set "git config core.ignorecase false" in my repositories and I am trying to first stage their new names:

Image 401

When I select all new names and hit Stage, Smargit issues a command adding both the new and old file names.

The result of the command can be seem next. I am renaming files (in submodules) fixing their case name, for example, from README.MD to README.md, and similar case name fixies.

Adding New names: (Smartgit console)

As you can see, the above command is adding both new and old names of the files.

However, after running the above, the working tree lost the renamed status of the files and only the new names were staged as new files, instead of renamed files.

The old file names are still marked as untracked/Missing.


Then, if I try to stage the old names with Smartgit, nothing happens:

Old names: (Smartgit console)

Smartgit runs the command, but the files are not staged either as Removed or Renamed files.

The old file names are just kept hanging there on the working tree as nothing happened:

And If commit this, the files are marked as new files add instead of renamed files.

Stop resetting my scroll position when refreshing

Bugged 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 years ago 1

When I have a repository with countless submodules and Smartgit is doing a background refresh, it always keeps resetting my vertical scroll. 

Here:

1. I am scrolling with my mouse up to the top, but Smartgit keeps scrolling back down.

2. And when I am scrolling down to the bottom, Smartgit keeps scrolling back to the top.

Support floating views

mlody1990 5 years ago updated by Urs Meili 4 years ago 4

As a user of SmartGit I'd like my git client to have the possibility to have its certain (and any) windows on different monitors in any layout I decide to have, which gives more space for that particular window instead of squashing every window on just one monitor. Just take a look how people who create GitAtomic do it. It simply works phenomenal there and I actually think about switching to their soft if that functionality I'm mentioning here won't be implemented soon in SmartGit.

Copy/Paste commits to trigger certain commands like rebase

arcadius 5 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago 0

As mentioned in Log: Rebase by drag and drop between Branches and Commits panels, drag-n-dropping commit(s) onto far branches in Smartgit is very hard.

One of the solutions is to let copy source commit(s) by Ctrl+C and then drop them onto the target commit by Ctrl+V.

Add a column next to the commit message in the commit graph which displays the list of changes files.
