add simplifyByDecoration checkbox

Open XUJINKAI opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

add "Simplify" button next to "show remote branches"

this button add "--simplify-by-decoration" arg to git log, this will show topology of git branches and tags.

btw, I rename "Show Remote Branches" to "Remotes" to prevent header too long

Can you post an example how the difference looks?

Use git as an example: image

After checked "Simplify" button, only branches and tags shows. This is a very useful feature for large repos. image

If unchecked "Show Tags", only branches shows. image

very useful flag for gigantic repositories!

Ok looks like a good option to keep the overview. But can you add a setting to disable the button because the space in this bar is quite rare especially when viewing Git-Graph in a split view?

I will implemented a setting to hide that checkbox after I have merged it.

@XUJINKAI I noticed that not all merge commits are displayed when using the simplify option.

For example I expect the two merge commits just behind HEAD to be displayed also with 'Simplify'

But they are not displayed as well as many other merge commits. Any idea? grafik
