Suggestion: group files in GIT

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

 



I would like to group some files, so I can list group files together,
list group changes together, filter by group for staging, also order
by group.
It seems, there is no such feature in GIT I would need, so I send it
as suggestion.

We can call this feature as "Group files" or "Label files" (labeling
is used in Gmail, so this may be also a naming alternative).


Example file list I would like to group together into [group1]:
theme/header.php
theme/footer.php
theme/body.php
lib/theme.php

They are in different directories, but mostly belongs together, so if
I group them, then I can work easier with them.


- I could select a file group for staging, so only the changes in the
group would be added to stage. Changed files in the group:
[group1]/theme/header.php
[group1]/lib/theme.php


- I could list files filtered by a group. Files filtered by [group1]:
[group1]/theme/header.php
[group1]/theme/footer.php
[group1]/theme/body.php
[group1]/lib/theme.php


- I could order file list to list group files first, then directory files.
[group1]/theme/header.php
[group1]/theme/footer.php
[group1]/theme/body.php
[group1]/lib/theme.php
other/files.php


I listed just a few basic cases, when grouping/labeling could be
useful, but there may be more.


Please consider implementing this feature into GIT.


Thanks,
Konrad Lorinczi
