[PATCH] git-gui: instead of defaulting to home directory use working directory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When starting git gui in a non-git directory it presents the user a
dialog which asks to create, clone or open a repository. The filedialogs
used to choose the path(s) would always default to the home directory of
the user. This patch changes this behavior and uses the current working
directory in which git gui was started as default.

This is useful in various cases. First being that the user starts the
gui in some directory and can go search to create, open or clone a
repository from there. Another use case is that tools like filemanager
context menues can transport a natural default when selected from a
folder.

Users who like to have their home folder as a default can fall back on
starting git gui with its working directory set to the home folder.
