Created attachment 266571 [details] Mock-up It would be useful to see the current branch (and it's state) in the status bar. Right now, if I am editing a file and I want to know which branch am I on, I either have to: - Switch to the Git perspective, look for the repo in the Git Repositories view - If I have the Project Explorer or Package Explorer opened, scroll up to find the containing project which has the branch information next to it - Open another view, like the Git Staging view It would be nice to just have this in the status bar synchronized with the selection (file, folder or project). Just like the label in the Git Repositories view, it could show the branch name, the state (rebasing, conflicts) and number of commits behind/ahead. I have attached a mock-up to show how it could look like. As a bonus, if you click on the status bar on this information, it could navigate to something useful like the Git Stating view.
+1, good idea We could also show the dirty decorator if there are uncommitted changes (like in repositories view). Maybe you want to contribute this ?
(In reply to Matthias Sohn from comment #1) > Maybe you want to contribute this ? I sure would like to :) But I'm not sure when I'll be able to. It's good to know that the idea is welcomed, as a first step.
