| Re: [egit-dev] making push force more handy |
Hi
I'm currently looking into improve EGit here and there usability-wise (and in my daily job). We have master repos on github and each dev has its personal fork. We all work on topics-branches. Once the code is ready we rebase (or amend beforehad) and file a pull-request which then gets merged into the master repo.
The git staging view is just awesome, it allows commiting and pushing to my github fork in a single (button) click. That's even easier than on the cmd-line. Unfortunately when I amend, I have to push force to my fork which is not as handy.
* The git-staging view doesn't offer a force switch which could come very handy but could also be very dangerous. What are your thoughts?
* Team->Remote->Push needs one 1 click too much: it doesn't come preconfigured. You have to select your local branch, add the refspec and check "force". I'd prefill the local branch. That would safe 1 click and would things slightly more handy. Thoughts?
* Team->Push To Upstream wont allow me to push force. Invoking it will tell me that my push is of course "non fast-forward". The only option I have there is to "Configure..." but this will change my repo-configuration and this is not what I want to do. I only want to push force this single time (and eventually another time later on). What about offering "Push..." there, too?
