Better support when using SmartGit for Git and Mercurial at the same time

Craig Caulfield 10 years ago • updated by Thomas Singer 5 years ago • 1

I use SmartGit for both Git and Mercurial, which is great: I have just one tool learn, and the same tool on Windows and on Mac. But, the commands and preferences for the two VCS are inconsistently implemented. For example:


The preference "Stash: Automatically save stash if Pull, Checkout, or Interactive Rebase fails because of local changes" works for Git but not Mercurial. Similarly, the Apply patch menu item uses the git apply command rather than the Mercurial import command even when pointing to a Mercurial repository.


SmartGit should be smart enough to know what sort of repository it is executing against and use the appropriate command, or tell us when that command hasn't been implemented.


Also, perhaps there needs to be separate preference tabs for Git- and Mercurial-specific preferences as there are some siginificant differences.

Mercurial: support for creating and importing patches

Craig Caulfield 10 years ago • updated by Thomas Singer 10 years ago • 5

SmartGit allows you to create and apply a patches for Git, but not for Mercurial. Atlassian's SourceTree and the tool within Intellij IDEA have a context menu against log entries to create a patch from single or multiple commits.

Temporarily maximize changes view

Bryce Schober yesterday at 12:41 a.m. • updated by Thomas Singer 21 hours ago • 1

I would love to have the ability to "zoom in on" or temporarily maximize the changes view panel. This is a feature on VS Code side and bottom panels, and I find it really helpful to be able to toggle that quickly.

Commit message: Add option to enable auto-completion of file names for staged, unstaged, both

Hyper Sonic 3 days ago • 0

Currently, filename autocompletion in Commit message edit field works this way: when you press Ctrl+Space, a popup will show matching filenames for:

- if there are no staged files, all unstaged files (so all files with a modification, basically, although filters may affect this)

- if there is at least 1 staged file, all staged files

However, this is not compatible with my workflow, where I write a bullet point in my commit message for each file or group of files to explain their changes, *before* staging them. So on the contrary, I need autocompletion for unstaged files. Sometimes I also want to refer to a file even if it has already been staged, so ultimately I'd need autocompletion for all files.

To cater for all needs, SmartGit could provide flexible Commit message editing options (either in Preferences or in the small hamburger menu at the top-right of the commit message area, or both), to enable filename autocompletion for:

- all files

- unstaged files only

- staged files only

- disable autocompletion

(2 checkboxes for the 2 categories would be enough to produce the 4 combinations)

In addition, for people who like the current fallback system, an extra checkbox:

- if selected group (staged or unstaged) has no files, fall back to the other one (unstaged or staged, resp.)

This final option only makes sense if you chose staged files only or unstaged files only, so grey it out otherwise, I suppose.

Move repositories into group via commandline arguments

paul moors 2 months ago • 0

I would like to have a commandline option available for smartgit.exe which enables me to move a repository into a 'Group' in the Repositories window. 
At the moment this is a manual activity which is taking too much time since, in our situation, the number of involved repositories is increasing  rapidly over 30.

When this commandline option is available we can use scripting to move these repositories to the correct group which saves lots of time and reduces errors.
