Hey there,
i am working on a project with ~40 developers, and we use Sourcetree for that.
We have a whole bunch of different branches at the same time (around 100)
Now, when i use Sourcetree, i often times run into a specific issue.
When i want to follow the history of a branch on the graph view (let's say i want to find out at what point some branch got merged into another one), i find it really hard to visually indicate on which commit things happened.
I was wondering if there is a way to make a certain branch in the graph view to be thicker or something, so every time i click on a commit of a branch, then in the graph view the entire branch line will be visually highlighted.
I know that you could check out the branch and filter the graph for the current branch, but this would always require to switch the branch. If i just want to follow the line of the branch, i always have to put my mouse on the exact spot of where the branch on the commit i initially picked is, and then i mousewheel until it takes curves etc. it's like i have to do a maze game every time :D
Colors don't help for that, since pretty much every branch has 6 of the same color on the graph at any given time.
I think it would be really awesome if there is a feature where, if you click on a commit, the entire branch line gets thicker so it's way easier to see where it originated from and where it got merged.
Best Regards,
Theo
Hi Theo,
The only Git GUI that does this is 'Git GUI' - the one that is installed alongside 'standalone' Git. It has a very clunky user interface, but it does exactly what you are looking for. There's no point asking Atlassian to implement this in Sourcetree - you will be waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... and, well, you get the picture. (I know this from having formally submitted bugs and feature requests two and a half years ago that have not been actioned :( )

Hmm i see, thx for the quick reply :)
