gitlost's Issues

OSX gitlost not working

$ gitlost

** output **
/bin/gitlost: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/gitlost: line 1: `var opn = require('opn');'

*New GitLostVue* Adding a new Repo should select it

GitLost crashed when I delete local branches that were selected

Need to gracefully handle the removal of branches when they are deleted from the repository.

This only happens when I delete a local branch that doesn't track a remote branch.
I am deleteing from the command line: git branch -D <branch_name>

No documentation on installing procedures.

Needs documentation on installing gitlost as well as how to do development on the project.

Command line pane

Add a command line output pane as a collapseable window. Allow for injection of commands with links or typing. Ensure no hacking can occur by locking down commands sent to backend.

Save branch selection as separate queries

Allow for a set of branches to be saved as a named query for fast switching of branch sets.

Branch selection color picker

Selected branches should allow for a foreground and background color selection.

Implement a "zoom to branch" feature

When I've got dozens of branches in scope and I want to find a specific branch (typically by the user story ID contained in the branch name) I use the browser's find in page feature (ctrl-F). This used to scroll the branch into view before the D3 pane was implemented.

Can we have a "Search by branch name" feature to scroll the branch into view via the D3 pane?

If there was an easy click a branch name to zoom to, that would be useful, otherwise I'd search by part of the branch name; which may match multiple branches. If the latter, I'd need to be able to click next to see the next match.

Thanks.

Roll-up series of commits into circle

Allow for a series of sequential commits to be displayed as a single large circle with the number of commits. Allow for expanding or collapsing the line of commits. This does not apply to merge commits.

Separate branch ordering from branch selection

Ordering of branches should be a separate UI item. A draggable list would be best.

Empty or 1 commit repos do not show graph

Empty repos or ones with just 1 commit do not show the graph. The git history commands are defaulted to look at a commit plus the one before it. This needs to be a special case. The super secret initial git commit hash could also be used.

Auto fetch

Allow for auto fetch to occur at a regular interval.

Hanging (gray) commits can be clicked to open

Allow for handing (gray) commits to be clicked to discover ref names pointing to it and include them in the branch selection.

Branch Selection as tree view

The branch selection should be a tree view on the side that is constaintely displayed. It should be able to collapse out of view. It should support folder for remotes, tags, stashes, reflogs and any ref names with a slash.

Clickable commands

Specifically add clickable commands in the command reference pane. Also add clickable "new branch here" command on graph objects.

Smarter branch ordering

Using first parent information to infer correct branch order.

Use D3

Implement D3 so the graph can be augemented.

Resizing issue when window becomes too narrow

When the window becomes too narrow and the buttons at the top of the page begin to shift down a row, they will cover up part of the git branches with no way to view what is underneath.

Improve commit details

Expand the commit detail dialog to include 3 tabs: Date/Message/Author, File status/ File diffs. Allow for multiple modeless dialogs to be shown.

Zoom graph only

Zoom only the graph, not the header

Drag and drop events

Using D3, allow for generic drag and drop events between nodes and edges on the graph. This will later be used to infer git commands from drag actions.

Git config gui

Add a global and repo ui to inspect and modify common git configs. (username, email, line endings, rebase)

Add copy & paste

Add copy & paste right click options to things all over the graph.

Include more graphviz options

Allow for graph type selection, such as neato or circo.

Store graph information in memory

Allow for the commit hash and parent information to be stored in the browser memory and move the graph rendering to the client.

Cannot visualize two unrelated histories

gitlost appears empty when handling two unrelated histories when merging two remote repositories together.

Add command reference pane

Add collapseable command reference pane. Include multi-command receipes for common actions.

Show non-commits in graph

Allow for showing reflog entries, stashes and the current index as nodes in the graph. The nodes should allow allow for the diff view.

Auto select related branches

Allow for smarter branch selection by choosing both the local and remote branches.

Update GraphViz package references

New installs show the following warning:

[email protected]: 2.x is no longer supported, 3.x published as @viz-js/viz

the new version is published under a new NPM package (currently v3.1)
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@viz-js/viz

There may be compatibility issues with upgrading

Include forward branches

Include forward branches should be off by default. Consider a per-branch solution rather than whole repository.

TFS Links

Using the remote info, build a TFS link for related work items or parsed branch names.
