Export Modified Files Retaining Folder Structure

james x gregory 2 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 months ago 6

I'd like the ability to export the selected modified files to a directory and maintain the file structure of the modified files. i.e. if I have selected two files, one in an EXP directory and one in an IMP directory, then I'd expect and IMP and EXP directory to be created with the files in the correct folders.

Ideally, also like the ability to do this from the main window showing changed files, but also from the log window when comparing two commits or looking at a single commit.

This is similar to the functionality in Tortoise GIT using the right-click "Export Selection To" option.

Add Remote: better default name of remote from URL

michael foerderer 2 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 months ago 2

If a remote from GitHub is added always the last part of the url, which is the repository name, is used. If you want to add another fork to modify the branch as maintainer of the forked repository I always need to change the name.

E.g. for GitHub it would be better to not take the last part, e.g. instead of https://github.com/Spacetown/gcovr it would be better to take https://github.com/Spacetown/gcovr or the last two parts.

Add message explaining why Standard view cannot be selected without commercial license

Hyper Sonic 2 months ago 0

Currently, when not using a Commercial license, the Standard view is greyed out and cannot be selected on both onboarding Style selection and later selection in Preferences.

However, there is no message indicating that this is unavailable due to not having Commercial license. This may be disturbing to new users, especially as in the onboarding process, it's written "Recommended for new users" just below the Standard view description!

Configurable "open in" menu

Dominic van Berkel 2 months ago updated 2 months ago 3

The context menu for repositories includes options to "Open In" explorer, git-shell, terminal, and a few more. I'd love to be able to configure that list for my preferred tools, like


- Open in Windows Terminal (my settings don't match what I get when I pick "Open in terminal" or "Open in Powershell"),

- Open in VS Code

- Open in TotalCommander


I  see several other feature requests with specific new menu items but it's pretty long as it is - making it configurable would simplify the menu and make it more flexible for everyone.

Exclude log filter

Andrew Hughes 2 months ago updated by Daniel Siegl 2 months ago 3

Our automation server commits a nightly build with a commit message "Nightly Build...". It would be nice to exclude these commits from the graph view using a filter either in the UI or git config file.

Hi,

I just did a test based on: https://github.com/danielsiegl/CommitFilterTest

And I can reproduce that this is working with 23.1.x and  with 24.1.x  - but you need to select "Message" only.

Standard Window: support releases for the Feature Flow (similar to Git Flow Releases)

silmaril 3 months ago updated by Marc Strapetz 2 months ago 8

Currently the standard window supports everything needed to work with feature branches using git flow.

What about the other types of branches?

Personally, I am only missing "Start release" and "Finish release", but others might need hotfixes or support branches as well.

Having to switch to the log window to create a release feels wrong ;-)

Since most people will (hopefully) create releases far less frequently than features, I think it would suffice to put those commands into the "Branch" drop down menu - maybe even under a sub-menu "Git Flow".

Syntax Highlighting: support for Elixir

JvL 3 months ago updated 3 months ago 2

Add support for the Elixir language.

Or, as many other requests have mention: change your highlighting engine to something that supports user-defined grammars or borrows from the wider ecosystem (VSCode and Eclipse have one way, LanguageServers are another...)

Add meta-information (note, tag, flag) to repository or group

Peter von Niederhäusern 3 months ago 0

It would be nice to have the ability to add a personal note, tag, flag, etc. to some repository or a whole group (e.g. mark repository with a "<red flag>", as with some E-Mail clients)

Conflict Solver: allow to set Ignore Whitespace by default

Mario123 3 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 months ago 0

Comparing files with a lot of whitespace changes (due to different settings in .clang-format) produces a lot of noise in the conflict view. There is a view option to "Ignore whitespace", but I can't find a way to set this toggle as the default setting.

Is there a chance to add this defaulted option?

Could I please have hotkeys on the underlined functionality below?

EthNeural 3 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 3 months ago 1

Could get 90% of the way there by supporting a hotkey for "Amend Last Commit", "Commit" and "Commit & Push". The others are a bonus.


I'm on Mac.
