Show submodules with modified content in the commit files window
When performing a git status . command in CLI, we can see submodules that have new commits and submodules that have modified content and/or untracked content
It would be great if SmartGit can show this in the files dialog. As it stands, I only see submodules with new commits which makes it possible for me to miss some submodule commits that I need to make.
Trigger a refresh via command line/bash
In order to trigger a refresh for SmartGit, you have to close the app out and re-open it.
It would be nice to have a command via shell that can trigger a refresh. I have a script that I pull down all the repos and then it would be nice to have the refresh command triggered in SmartGit to refresh all the green arrows for pull.
Modify commit should work like cherry pick
I expected that "modify commit" would work like cherry pick without commit. In other words, it would rewind to before the selected commit and then stage but not commit the selected commit so that you can edit it. Then when you complete it should re-apply all subsequent commits. It would be great if "modify commit" did this, or there was another functionality which provided this workflow.
Add support to show commit details during interactive rebase
During an interactive rebase the main window is not accessible.Therefore it is not possible to access the graph and to get commit specific information (files which changed and file diff support). Therefore a large rebase process could be very annoying if only the commit message is visible / accessible.
Add a copy Full commit data contextual menu entry
I would be nice to have an option in the contextual menu of a commit to copy the "Full commit data", similar the "copy to clipboard" -> "Full data" feature in Tortoise Git (and Tortoise SVN).
Open multiple repositories in explorer
Sometimes I want to open multiple repos (6-15) in windows explorer from the Repository view in the LogGraph view. Therefore I have to right click each one and say "Open in Explorer". It would be nice if that option would also be shown if you select multiple repos which would then of course open also multiple explorer instances.
Add context menu item to set upstream of current branch
It would be very handy if remote branch context menu had option to set the current branch's upstream. So user could create a branch, then right click the remote branch tile they want to track (which is usually there in the graph) to set the upstream.
Configuration option to define the name for the principal branch
The current Git convention is changing the principal branch name from master to main but SmartGit always create the principal branch named "master". If user want to use a different name to the principal branch a rename action is required after repository is created.
Please, add a configuration option to permit user configure any preferred name for the principal branch, then when a new repository is created, the preferred name is used, instead master.
Thanks for your attention and support,
Add option to specify repository and branch for "Push Up To..."
When I create a local branch which doesn't track any remote branch yet and want to push the changes to a remote it would be nice if there was an option to select the remote repository and the branch.
Basically I would like to see this dialog, which is shown when I select "Push Up To..." in the branches view:
also when I select "Push Up To..." in the logs view.
The behavior of "Push Up To..." differs between the different windows:
Working Tree Window + Log Window: A dialog is shown where I can push the commits and SmartGit will push the changes to a corresponding branch on the default remote
Standard Window: SmartGit directly pushes to a corresponding branch on the default remote
I often work with local commits where I have stored some local settings which I don't won't to push to the remote repository. That's the reason why I sometimes don't won't to push the complete branch to the remote repository.
Best regards
Martin
