Select multiple files to stage

[stop-start]

Hi, I just started using GitFiend and liking it so far!

I noticed though that I can't select multiple files to stage. I can stage one file or all files but not just some of them. It would be a helpful feature.

Hi stop-start, thanks.

I think this would be nice to have. I imagine you would be able to shift-click and maybe drag to select multiple files at once. I don't currently see it as a high priority as there are a lot of features and fixes I want to get to first.

Up vote :+1: . Literally the first thing I tried. This feature is very handy. Especially when using with Unity projects as there can be a lot of .mat files manipulated in run time but don't need to be committed. Pretty tedious going through one by one.

Maybe I need to change my work flow though :thinking:

Something that might help is pinning files you don’t want to accidentally commit. Just right click on an un-staged file -> pin file. Once you have set this up, you can just click stage all to stage multiple at once.

The pin feature is definitly a handy feature for some cases, but from my experience with a bigger Unity game, beeing able to quickly revert a bunch of unimportant files that were generated by the engine can save a lot of time, as those files would otherwise create conflicts when pulling.

This feature would be really great, I'll try out the pin method for now.
