SmartGit Window Styles

SmartGit offers three distinct Main Windows, each tailored to different workflows and user preferences:

• The Standard Window offers a best-practice interface, ideal for users who are not yet deeply familiar with Git.
• The Log Window is built for power users who need complete control over every aspect of Git.
• The Working Tree Window is ideal for users with a file-centric workflow and is especially helpful when working with submodules.

The Standard Window opens each repository in its own tab, allowing parallel operations across projects. It clearly separates local file changes from commits and graph-based tasks. Optimized for feature branches, pull requests, and CI/CD workflows, it helps prevent common Git mistakes that can lead to complex repository states.

The Log Window focuses on the commit history and provides a detailed, graphical view of your repository’s structure. It shows all branches, commits, pull requests, and the working tree, which is represented as a virtual commit node. Advanced operations like reordering, squashing, and interactive rebasing are directly accessible, making it easy to review and adjust your project history.

The Working Tree Window provides a familiar, Explorer-like interface with separate views for Directories and Files. Files from both the main repository and its submodules are displayed together in a unified, recursive view for seamless navigation. The Journal offers a concise history of the current branch, with the option to display a second branch for quick comparisons. For a complete overview of your repository’s history, the Log Window is always just one click away.
