When resolving conflicts, I love using the "Base Changes" screen to figure out what each string of commits changed. It would be helpful, however, to see who made those changes and why.

Currently we mark a Repository as favorite 

It would be handy to be able to mark also Repositories' Group and submodule inside parent Repository.

We have some useful command-line arguments.

But smartgit.sh always creates new windows.

Can a new command-line parameter be added, to apply all parameters like --log and --open to an already opened SmartGit instance, if any?

If there are several SmartGits opened, modify any of them.

If there is no SmartGits opened, ignore the new parameter, open new SmartGit.
By the way, it would be great if --anchor-commit argument worked with --open flag too (not --log only), just focusing the commit specified.

In the File Compare window, there is a useful option (under View > Settings > General : Show Whitespaces) that allows displaying a · (middle dot) for spaces and » for tabs, making it super easy to spot whitespace differences, e.g. when the wrong indentation is used.

It would be really nice to have the same functionality when viewing changes in the main SmartGit window as well.

As a bonus: make the setting in File Compare persistent. At the moment (version 25.1.102), it has to be set every time a new window is opened.

Many thanks !

Can we have a simple function that, when right-clicking on an indexed, unmodified file, and we are on a branch tracking a GitHub branch, provide a choice to copy a link to the corresponding GitHub file?

It copies a link like https://github.com/<account>/<repo>/blob/<blobid>/<filepath>#L<linenumber> or

https://github.com/<account>/<repo>/blob/<branch>/<filepath>#L<linenumber>

Just like this (in Resharper): 

I believe this would be a useful addition to the current feature set.

Lightweight and annotated tags behave differently, and for my purposes I'd always like annotated tags, even with an empty description (due to their having their own independent timestamp). It would be great to have an option so that every created tag was an "annotated" tag, even if the annotation was empty.

It's been requested to show annotated tags' descriptions in the Commit pane, but that was considered too verbose. How about just indicating that a specific tag is annotated? (The two often behave differently, e.g. with `git describe`, so it's important to know.)

Some (perhaps ugly) suggestions:

• On the Graph, add an icon at the right edge of an annotated tag
• On the Commit pane, add an icon or "(annotated)" to the right of each annotated tag, or perhaps the first few words of the annotation

Git reftable is needed to handle Case Sensitive and Case insensitive scenarios and improve overall speed for repository operations with several branches. 

I want to configure the language of the AI generated commit messages

Users who use the Working Tree-window should be able to right click a commit in the journal and select "Explain commit" there like in the log window
