Emoji support was added in 20.2, see https://smartgit.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/720-emoji-support

But because of the very poor support of emoji in current git clients, when working on a repo using gitmoji it is necessary to write emoji codes instead of emoji characters : :bug: instead of 🐛for example.

Can a support to emoji codes be added ?

Sometimes I just begin to code a simple modification on the main branch.

Then I get back to Smartgit, and then I need to :

1. create a branch,
   
2. commit,
   
3. create a new pull request

With the new standard window, after switching to Smartgit I get redirected automatically in the "Local files" perspective.

The current branch is displayed just above the commit window... but it's easy to miss...

If I want to create a new branch I need to the History perspective, create a new branch, switch back to the Local files perspective... Not very convenient !

Ideally, I would love to be able to specify a new branch name and commit all at once.

Maybe simply add a new option in the commit window, just aside the "commit to: <branch>" label, a "new branch" button that would open a textfield where you would wrote the branch name ? Then fill the commit message and click on the commit button and boom, Smartgit automatically creates and checkout the branch, and then commit ?

Or more simply get a new branch button in the Local files perspective ?

I want modified files on top
in the Older UI's this is possible, in the standard window it is not.

In the log window, I use really often the "checkout" contextual option :

This is a good way to revert work without loosing it, and check for a previous behavior for example.

Unfortunately this option is not yet present in the standard window when right clicking on a current branch commit. Can it be added here also ?

In the standard Window, "history" perspective, the "My History" window displays all the Pull Request I'm involved in, this is pretty cool 8). But if I want to checkout this PR, I can't directly in this block, and it's complicated to do manually :( (open the PR in the browser, check the branch name, open the All branches window, checkout the branch)

Can this be added ?

If it could be possible to also checkout PR based on a branch in a fork it would be even cooler 8)

What PHPStorm does for example is perfect (adds a remote to the fork and have the tracked branch in that remote, so that when you checkout the PR branch by default you push to the fork)

This feature should be pretty easy to implement, maybe a text box in repository setup?

Why such feature?
Most of time I'm working with some project repository in which I have other files generated by my IDE which I can not commit to this repo (other people might not be interested in those files).

In order to save those project's IDE settings I create another repository inside same directory but with different --git-dir for example ".git_IDE". In a fact this setup is two separate repository in one common directory.
I use SmartGit to work with the project but when I want to save the settings file I switch to command line and do for example:
git --git-dir=git_IDE add ide_settings
git --git-dir=git_IDE commit -a
git --git-dir=git_IDE push

It would be nice to have option in SmartGit to select defaul --git-dir per repository.

When renaming branch (select branch, `F2`) selecting word (Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right) only seems to break the word on `-`. This makes it a small annoyance when renaming feature branches into "done that branches" (kept for local tracking purposes). F.ex `feature/123_branch` -> `_/123_branch`.

Version: 21.1

Description: git log <path> will do History Simplification, i do not like it. I want to see all commits related to <path>. When i check option "Include Merge even if File was not changed", exit window. And log file again, the default option is changed back to "Include Merge Only if File was Changed".

The Index Editor lets me compare changes *and* stage lines/undo stuff which are the two things one might want to do when looking at uncommitted changes.
However, I often accidentally double click the file instead of using the shortcut for Index Editor, thus opening the Compare view which doesn't let me do changes and which I therefore only ever want to use when looking at files of already done commits.

IMO Index Editor should be the default window to open for uncommitted changes. At least it would be great if one could configure SmartGit that way.

When not connected to a VPN where my repo is, SmartGit just hangs in "Fetching..." for 2 minutes and I must force exit it if I don't want to wait for it to show me a "Command failed" popup with message "Command Fetch failed!" message. Event when I connect to the VPN in meantime it still continues to hang. Because of it I must take care that I am connected to the VPN before I do some action related to a remote repository.

So, the potential resolution will be to automatically break the request or to have an option to cancel it (with similar warning like it is on force exit attempt)
