Git window expansion

Hey, this may not be a first class expectation, but maybe it’s possible to add some features to the git panel (Changed Files) somewhere in the near future?

I’ve been using Defold for about a dozen days now and when the amount of changes starts to overwhelm I’m reminded of how I used the git feature in VSC.

Of course, from the point of view of a game engine like Defold, this is not some major feature. Nevertheless, since I can already see the changed files in the app, it would be good to at least be able to handle commits.

  1. Text field to enter a commit message
  2. a button to add a commit if the repo is already initialised in the directory and message is provided.

Because for now I have to use external CMD to add such a commit before every major code change.

Of course, such limited functionality generates the problem of file selection - all or nothing…
Perhaps the topic is up for deeper discussion by users more familiar with a flow of app usage.
Or maybe it’s just not a sensible change, because I don’t see whole picture. I don’t know. Just wondering.

It should be possible to build a basic ui for working with git using editor scripts.
