Allow changing the space replacement character for branch names

Michael N 7 years ago updated by Dmytro Stolynets 1 year ago 2

When naming a new branch you can type as normal and hit the space bar in between words. SmartGit will insert an underscore ("_") in place of the space (" ") when making the branch name. I like being able to just hit the space bar and letting SmartGit make the branch name valid, but I prefer to use dash ("-") to separate words in branch names because it is more easily readable to me.


Could there be a SmartGit setting to specify what character should be used to replace spaces in branch names? This could let people use "_", "-", "+", or even "/" as they prefer.

Can be changed in SmartGit 18.1 in the "Low-level Properties" section of the preferences.

Update SmartGit 23.1 RC 3 #20138: 

I've been looking for a way to change words separator character in branch names for quite a little and was luck enough to catch this thread.  

For now, it's still inside SmartGit -> Settings -> Low-level properties under branch.replaceInvalidCharsWith key. Hope it'll server someone else here
