Reduce vertical space waste in the summary
Problem description
Currently summary takes too much space for no good reason: 6 lines (wasting more precious vertical spacing) while >50% of the width is blank
1 hash commit hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
2 hash tree hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
3 author@ name@email
4 date hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
5 hash parent hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
6 branches br
7 Stats 1 file changed: -7 +7
Preferred solution
So you could fit it in a more readable and condensed form in just 3 lines
1 name 📅date
2 commit ⇑parent 𐇲tree
3 1Δ -7 +7 br
And do the following
- emails: hide all
[email protected]ones, they add no identification value. Or hide emails altogether (use configurable), showing them on mousehover instea - stats: instead of
1 file changedyou could just use some change icon like1Δ, which are faster to read vs the test and shorter - hashes: use short form (show long form on hover) with icons like
⇑for parent and𐇲for tree - branches/tags are already visually highlighted yellow/blue, so don't need a name either
- no need for field names, most of this is either obvious or fast to learn and can be moved to a tooltip
Alternatives
Allow user editing of this layout via some template / plugins
