I'm working on a big enterprise project where there are dozens of submodules that don't concern me. I don't completely understand how submodules work in Git and I'm hoping to spend the remaining of my life on Earth without having to learn that. A bunch of these submodules are empty, a bunch are initialized. I keep seeing them in Files and it's distracting because there are dozens of them, and I want to just see files that I change.

At some point I tried initializing them or something, but then it breaks some of our development scripts. Please, can we just have a button to hide submodules?

The commit "name" and "timestamp" seems permanent in the graphs for SG18.  Add an option to hide these.

Sometimes I stage some changes then press Commit. I type in my message and press the Commit button, then realize that it had selected "Local Changes" in the dialog instead of "Staged Changes". Sometimes it defaults to Staged, but not always (I don't know when it selects one over the other?). I'd like to be able to default it to always select Staged.

Hi,

In the current clone window I can only select a remote repository or a local directory but not a local bundle file created with the command git bundle create...

To restore it using the git clone command I have to use a shell session.

By the way. To create a bundle with SmartGit I added a custom tool to bundle the whole repo, but how can use it just for a specific branch (selected with the mouse) ?

I miss the ability to refer back to what is actually in the changes when I am writing the commit message.

It would nice to add Import/Export to the custom tools so it can be easily shared co-workers.

The best would be to select what tools are exported.

There should be some indication about available commits if opened repository is marked as favorite

It would be super if user will be able to choose UI options as such as font and its size. It need for customize an interface compactness and presenting more information on one screen.

When we create a new feature branch and make several commits to that branch, we lose track of what changes this branch contains relative to the develop branch. We have to create a pull request (in VSTS) to see the changes between two branches. We want to see this list of changes before we create a pull request.

Sometimes you can't understand why a specific folder/file is ignored... On the CLI the git check-ignore -v is perfect for such use case. Would be nice to have something implemented directly in SmartGit, with a nice output !
