Configurable repository name

Open am93 opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I have multiple repositories with same names in different projects, but of course in different folders.

For example: -> FOLDER1 --> repoName1 --> repoName2 -> FOLDER2 --> repoName3 --> repoName1

In app I now see:

-- repoName1
-- repoName2 -- repoName3 -- repoName1

I have a problem, because I dont know which repoName1 belongs to which folder. It would be awesome if there would be some configuration available, where you could define how repository is displayed in app - for example: instead of just name also name of parent directory.

With this addition it would be perfect app for me (it is already awesome right now) 😄 .

Hey @am93 thanks for the feedback.

That can be possible, but we should decide on a convenient solution. There can be a few options:

  • Only display parent directory if the repo name has the same
  • Show all repos parent (if configured)
  • Show absolute file path when pressed on a button

The most easy one is the last, but not so user friendly. Second option on the other hand, it is too much detail to put this on a app configuration. First one is most convenient but it puts a little complexity into the code.

Let's iterate the topic and maybe get other people's ideas. This issue should stay open for a while.

Agreed. Right now I would prefer option 2 or maybe 1. For first iteration I would recommend additional option when running application and show just parent directory name. In next iteration it could be improved with custom configuration file field.

If you need I can offer assistance in implementation.
