wistcc / git-easy Goto Github PK

In the beginnings, we conceived git-easy as tiny side project created to probably solve a problem. Because of this, we tried to make the development process as easy as possible. Since that time, git-easy has become an essential tool in our development workflow. We have so many ideas we want to implement but we're currently limited by our technologies choices from the beginning.

We should use this issue as a place to discuss where are we heading to.

My proposal is to re-implement our ui with React or Preact (since most of the collaborators are familiarized with React and the bridge between them is not too large) using redux to manage the state. We can continue using css (rather than a css processor or css-in-js) if we want to keep the project simple for beginners (we don't have that much css) but the implementation of a strong front-end framework facilitates the future development of features by a lot (IMHO).

I don't want to examine anything inside node_modules.

As a user I expect to have the option to auto-start the app and I want this option to be configurable.

Right now, our directories are only scanned once the application starts. If I make changes to the files/directories git-easy doesn't reflects them in the ui unless I restart the app or add/remove the changed directory. We should have a process listening to changes (or at least periodically) so we can reflect them

By default git-easy search only the first level, but what if I what to search to search folders inside folders?

If the selected folder doesn't have a .git folder, then list all the folders in it that right inside them have a .git folder.

• Change colors? fonts? element's position?
• I feel CSS code is a little forced, maybe we should do it in a better way?
• Change the width of the buttons on the list to be all the same width.
• Change Browse button by a button like the + button on Gmail on the phone.

Here how https://electron.atom.io/docs/api/auto-updater/

What if I want to open my favorite editor? or my favorite editor and my favorite console emulator?

Right now we can only select repos by index

Right now when I do a search and press enter, the first folder in the ui is opened (expected behavior) but is not selected. If I press the down arrow I expect to move to the second folder but that's when the first one is selected. First folder should be selected by default.

Create icon to be used as the tray icon and as the file icon.

• I want to be able to change my shorcuts names!
• Option to decide whether or not to initialize app at the operating system start up.

Right now when we search anything we can see the query in the upper part of the client. That is made editing a span. The thing is that most of the text handling shortcuts (like pressing CTRL + A, DEL key) doesn't work and it requires custom implementation by us.

• Add overscroll-y when savedDirectories list size > container
• wrap text?

When Esc is pressed and when the shortcut is pressed while the app is shown.

Save this kind of folders and add a button to open the same path on the selected console.

Would be great to have a Mac version as part of the releases.

The app should remember the last option selected on each DDL

Right now multiple browse dialogs can be opened at once and every single one must be closed to continue using the app

Use auto-launch to open the app at startup.
