Cross-Repository File Copy -- Direct Transfer Between Local Repos
Current-workflow: copy-file → leave-SmartGit → file-manager-navigation → find-target-repo-directory → paste → return-to-SmartGit → stage-changes. Friction-heavy.
Proposed-feature: right-click-file → Copy-to-Repository → dropdown-shows-all-local-repos → select-target + choose-destination-path → automatic-transfer.
Result: file-copied-to-target-repo (new-file, no-history-attached) -- source-repo-unchanged, history-preserved.
Use-cases:
- config-file-sharing across projects (eslint, prettier, workflows)
- component-migration between codebases
- template-distribution to multiple repos
- cross-project-asset-syncing
Benefit: workflow-stays-in-SmartGit → no context-switching → faster-iterations → cleaner-mental-model
Current-workaround: terminal-cp-commands OR file-manager-juggling -- both break-flow.
This-feature → treats-repos-as-connected-workspace rather than isolated-silos.
