Find in change-set

Holi 1 month ago 0

Find a text in all changed files of a change-set. In a million+ code lines project some text might appear thousands of times, but you're only interested in the places of files you applied changes to. Add a checkbox to specify that only lines should be found where a change happened.

With that, if you have a huge change-set (e.g. 100+ files), you're able to track down a specific change (that may be problematic) much faster.

LFS prune during Garbadge collector prune

guillaume chauvel 1 month ago updated by Daniel Siegl 1 month ago 1

Add a check box in the garbadge collector popup to be able to fully clean a repository with a single pass on "Local" menu.

or a low level property to run "lfs prune" when the prune checkbox is selected.

Add ability to squash non-contiguous commits

David Rees 2 months ago updated by Daniel Siegl 1 month ago 3

Add ability for Squash in log view to work for non-consecutive commits. In that case smartgit would run a rebase that does the following:

- reorder selected commits so they are consecutive

- then squash them


If there is an merge issue then smartgit drops into interactive rebase step so use can resolve (or cancel).

Commit: word completion should also suggest current branch name

Duoc Dam 2 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 months ago 0
I want to suggest a feature that will auto-copy the branch name into the commit message textbox because I often work with multiple branches and each commit message should start with the branch name.

This feature is the same as a function of the GitToolbox plugin for IntelliJ

Finish Feature dialog: explicitly name target branch

Neo 3 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 months ago 0

With github calling new master branches "main", the application is a bit confusing when setting up the feature branch flow option as it asks for "main branches".

Further more and even more confusing, when you come to finishing a feature, on the Finish Feature dialog, the first radio option is "Finish to main branch". This should state the name of the branch selected at feature setup as "main" is now confusing.

In my case I'm using the "develop" branch for all developments and "main" for production in line with Git-Flow process. As you can imagine being told each time that I'm finishing to "main branch", when in reality I'm finishing the "develop branch" (even though this does happen behind the scenes) is a bit disconcerting. I appreciate the text sub text at the top of dialog states the "develop" branch, but at quick glance it would be better if the radio also showed this.

If would be ideal at setup to request "derived branch(es)" rather than "main branches" or something similar, and then on the Finish Flow dialog, show the branch name you selected at setup that you are actually finishing to.

Thanks.

Set myself commit author

Gxost 3 months ago 0

Though it is possible to edit commit author, it's impossible to set my data without preserving it somewhere or writing off from memory. Since SmartGit knows my data, it would be great if it allowed to use it for author editing.


Possible implementations:

  • a new context menu item: "Change Author to myself";
  • a checkbox or a button "Fill my data" in the "Edit Author" dialog.

Repositories View: Open All Submodules at Once

Camilo Sasuke Thomas Borregaar 4 months ago updated 4 months ago 2

Similar to this RFE : https://smartgit.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/1129-log-view-open-multiple-submodules-at-once

But for Repositories View.

It is something that I always missed something similar to what existed at SmartSVN.

Highlight commits which change a file

Juho Routakorpi 4 months ago updated 4 months ago 2

Before submitting a code change to review, I usually try to clean it up and make sure the commits that make up the change make sense individually. During clean-up, I sometimes need to split commits, so the change could have ten or more commits waiting to be polished. At this time, it's sometimes difficult to keep track of which commit does what.

This work would be easier if commit graph would highlight the commits that affect a specific file.

What I have in mind is workflow like this:

1. Select a file in Commit / Files dialog.

2. Each commit that touches this file gets highlighted in Commit Graph.

The feature should be optional via Commit Graph hamburger menu.


Another variant of the same feature would add vertical lanes for the modified files in Commit Graph. Lanes would form a table with commits as rows, files as columns, and in each cell whether the commit modifies / deletes / adds the file. This would be more complex solution and might become cluttered if there are lots of files affected, so there should be a limit.

Standard Window, All Branches + Tags: use tree-control instead of list

Marc Strapetz 5 months ago 0

There should be following root categories:

  • "Local Branches"
  • one root category for each remote
  • "Tags"

The explicit root nodes for each remote could also allow Remote-related operations (like in the Log window).

macOS: When closing the last main window via x button, remember opened repositories.

Yaniv 5 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 5 months ago 0

In macOS, when quitting SmartGit and then relaunching it, it remembers the last open repositories.

But this is not the case when closing the last SmartGit main window with the window's x button, and then relaunching it -

It doesn't remember the opened repositories, and just opens with all repositories closed.

This is very annoying!

I hope you can fix that.
