Description
Great work with the app so far 👍. I noticed that the date formats in the GIt history list do not contain commas. These new date formats are mentioned here: #860
Is it possible to add a comma in between the date and the time please? That is what most other apps do, and it's a recommended standard.
Steps to reproduce the bug, using SourceGit 2025.11
- Launch SourceGit 2025.11
- Open the Preferences / Settings ➔ General ➔ Date Format ➔ Click the drop-down menu
- Observe the list of date formats available
- Look at some Git commits with a chosen date format
Expected Result
- All the date formats should have a comma in between the date and the time.
Actual Result
- None of the date formats have a comma between the date and the time.
Reasons why it's needed - Impact on customers
- It's more difficult to read the entire DateTime, when there is no comma.
- It's easier and quicker to read the Date Time when the commas are there, because it splits the text into 2 parts.
- The comma makes it clearer to see which part is the date and which part is the time.
- This guideline recommends adding commas as an international standard: https://cldr.unicode.org/translation/date-time/date-time-patterns (search for "comma" in the article)
- Other apps use the comma, such as SourceTree, Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and so on.
