Improved Git Integration

[jath03]

The current git pane is pretty minimal and doesn't allow you to commit parts of a file or push/pull/fetch repositories. I'm working on improving it and would like to know what features would be wanted. I personally think that atom was/is the gold standard for git integration and will be basing a lot of my work on that, but I'd like to hear other opinions.

Todo:

• Separate unstaged/staged diff lists
• List of recent commits
• Staging parts of a file using git chunks, lines
• Improved controls in diff view
• Push/Pull/Fetch

Not sure what atom does, I got used to lazygit which is quite good too.

JetBrains IDEs are the gold standard in my opinion. Their Git Integration is just so intuitive

If I had one wish, I am missing files with uncommitted changes being highlighted in the folder / tree view on the left hand side.

Personally, I'd like to see a simple "amend commit" option which will apply your changes to the last commit using the --amend flag.

There's no straightforward way to edit the original file once your viewing a diff. You have to close the file and reopen it.

@elibroftw, this is solved by #2004

I would like to see an option for PGP-signed commits git commit -S ...

humble request to those referring other softwares to please either include link to docs, screenshots, or in case that can lead to copyright, then share mockup demonstrations ....

the "atom was gold standard" or "lazygit's good" "jetbrains IDEs are [insert metal X] standard" doesn't help much - neither to discussion, nor to the point you are making.

I'd recommend actually trying as many alternatives as possible to anyone serious about putting some work into this area, but I understand where you're coming from. Atom's spiritual successor pulsar has some good docs that explain the features better than a screenshot of mine would.

On a different note, I never got very far with this due to my unfamiliarity with the GUI libraries being used and lack of experience in rust at the time, so if anyone else wants to work on this, don't let me stop you.
