Revert Hunk in committed diff

Alireza 10 months ago 0

"committed diff" is activated when a single commit or a range is selected.

in this state the context menu on changed hunks in diff window only shows "Copy"

It would be nice to be able to stage the reverse of the selected hunk.

Thanks.

Support Markdown in commit messages [SG-16156]

Sync 1 year ago updated by Marc Strapetz 12 months ago 4

It would be nice if the [Commit] window would display commit messages in Markdown. 

Even if it's an opt-in advanced option, I would be happy.

Suggest user to initialize repository on drag-and-drop folder without repository

Hyper Sonic 1 year ago 0

Currently, we can drag-and-drop a repository folder directly under any group in SmartGit, but if the repository doesn't exist, it just says "The dropped repository is no Git repository". So we have to do Repository > Add or Create... each time.

Instead, if the folder has no repository yet, the app could offer the user to initialize one, then add the repository to the group it was dragged to on the go.

Easier way to add worktrees and check out branches

Pavel Aronsky 1 year ago 0

Suppose I want to play with certain branch in the repo of which I already have a worktree on another  branch.

I try Repository->Add worktree  - oops, it tells me that I don't have that as a local branch...

Can this Just Work, please? All I want is get me a new working directory for certan branch, presto.

If this takes some actions under the hood, please do this for me.

* I cannot do check out on this branch, because this will stomp on my current working directory (where files are already open in my IDE ...)

* I don't want to go all the way from Repository->Clone.... enter the repo URL, then the branch....

Perform file monitoring during Diffing

yccheok 1 year ago 0

Diff tool editor is a very handy tool for me to perform modifications on the spot, without a miss out anything.

However, I may sometimes switch between IDE and SmartGit's Diff tool editor.

When I perform an edit in IDE and forget to refresh the currently opened Diff tool editor, it will override all my IDE changes, if I press save in the Diff tool editor.

It will be great if the Diff tool comes with a file monitoring feature with the current logic

1. If it detects the file on disk has changed, and there is no change made in the Diff tool editor itself, it will silently reload the file.

2. If it detects the file on disk has changed, and there is a change made in the Diff tool editor, it will show a prompt, to ask the user whether he wants to reload.

Thank you.

Standard window, My History view: optionally show tags in the graph

Marc Strapetz 2 years ago updated by pgoiffon 2 years ago 1

For those commits which are displayed (the graph roots are defined by your local branches), optionally also show tags, as the Log window does.

Files view (Log): denote LFS-files

Marc Strapetz 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 0

Similar to topic #966, when selecting a Log commit, SmartGit should indicate for every file whether it is LFS-managed or not.

Note: for the general case, this may become a very expensive operation, because SmartGit will have to load all file blobs for the selected commit and check whether it is an LFS pointer or a regular file.

Log, Filter: improve search for 'Content' in files performance

Maciej Andrzejewski 2 years ago updated by fourier 9 months ago 5

Better search for 'Content' in files.

This feature basicaly works but it is not usable in most of time so I have to fallback to command line and user 'git grep' to find what I need *in seconds*.

The way I use it now:

In the log screen I type searched string and check the 'Content' type.

The commits are being searched and now there are two problems:

First problem: The 'Files' view will not get filled/updated with searched data until whole repository search is completed. In big repositories that means I will never get the results and can wait for ages. Using 'git grep' I complete this part in seconds. It would be great to have *a button to stop searching* for commits and start analyzing the 'Files' output.
