macOS icon size

l gadomski 2 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 years ago 1

Would be nice to adopt SmartGit icon to the common size used in macOS. It's slightly too big, don't you think?

Interactive Rebase: stop at selectable commits ("edit")

Iulian Onofrei 3 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 years ago 3

It would be great if you could select individual commit(s) for editing while rebasing interactively. Currently, you can only:

1. either edit only one commit at a time, by using the "Modify or Split Commit" option

2. either edit only the commit message, by using the "Rebase Interactive From" option

I think that an "Edit Commit" option, along the current "Edit Message" one, in the interactive rebase window would be the best solution.

Commit-hooks: bypass when squashing

Marcel van Pinxteren 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 1

When doing a regular commit, there is a checkbox "Bypass commit hook".  

When re-organizing commits, i.e. dragging and/or squashing, there is no such option.

Ability to strip accented characters

Petr Nehéz 3 years ago 0

It would be great if SG would implement stripping of accented characters (ON/OFF based on config value) when pasting text into a NewBranch dialog.

In Java it is easy to use a method "org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils#stripAccents()".

It might be good also to group multiple "white" characters into one entity - like those "_-_".

GitHub Enterprise Server Avatar

Rocco De Angelis 3 years ago 0

It would be nice if the avatars would also work with a GitHub Enterprise server.

I have found the low-level property avatar.serverUrl to fetch the avatars. The GitHub avatar can be fetched via github.com/user_name.png?size=64.
Currently in avatar.serverUrl only the email in md5 is available. In my cause I would need only a part of the email (user_name@email.com) and not in md5.

But also using the GitHub User API should work which returns a JSON containing the avatar URL.

Add option for "--set-upstream origin" for untracked branches

Peter Steiner 3 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 years ago 1

When I create a local branch (either directly or with the git flow feature) and then push it, it is not tracked and I have to add tracking separately. I would like an option to do this automatically (similar to "git push -u origin" on the command line)

I have tried checking the preference "Automatically set up tracking for new branches", but this doesn't help (what does this anyway? Couldn't find it in the online manual)

Fuzzy search in "File Filter" (no regex needed)

Sync 3 years ago 0

In vscode or any good editor, I can do partial string searches like "action comment" to yield results for "actions/comments.js".

It would be nice if the File Filter can do that too.  I believe currently we need to enable regex to do something like that.

gitconfig error message detail

awol 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 2

My global user gitconfig had an error in it.  This caused SmartGit to lose all connections to my repos, however there was no informative reason given for why the repo could not be opened.

Request: More informative error messages so cause of issue can be remedied faster.

When I tried to open a repo, I got this message:

Image 635

When I try to re-add the repo I got this message:

Image 636



I had to use Github Desktop (!!!) to get an informative error message:

Image 637


Once I fixed the .gitconfig error the repo correctly connected in SmartGit.


This problem took 15 mins to resolve instead of 1 min had the issue been described in more detail (or a link to error log files provided).

Temporary Open Directory with Repros

Steven Schermerhorn 3 years ago updated by Nicolas Deveaud 3 years ago 1
My work environment has several projects organized into different folders. Each of which have 2 to 6 repos in them. It would be a great feature if I could launch SmartGit for that folder and have SmartGit detect those 2 to 6 repros so that I can work with just that subset in that window. No need to maintain any state between app instances.

Allow merge and push branch in one click

Massimo Galbusera 3 years ago 0

Please allow users to merge a branch and push in one menu click.

Now it's like this:

- checkout the destination branch

- right click on the branch you want to merge

- click on "merge..."

- wait for merge to succeed or fail

- click push

I'd like to be like this:

- checkout the destination branch

- right click on the branch you want to merge

- click on "merge and push..." *


*push should be done automatically when there are no conflicts
