Plugin - Git Commander - Git and total commander!

[gdpr deleted 6]

I don't understand how to "create plugin defined hints".

I can't find anything in any menu to actually interact with Git. Is that not part of the plugin? I mean the ability to push/pull to/from git?

The information you seek can be found in the very first post of this topic.

The plugin doesnt work for submodules.

Oh, I know it is. I just don't understand it. I don't understand how to do it.
To me the information is lacking detail and steps for me to replicate it on my system.
Which is exactly why I said what I said.

I can create a custom view of columns, which shows me some information.
I just can't do any of the "create hints" part, because when I click in those places, in the TC interface, it doesn't match the available info, nor does it say where to insert the code (in the interface). If I should really insert the code inside a configuration file, then (again) that's not available in the first topic.

Also, I see zero information on whether this can be used to actually interact with Git, so should I interpret that there is zero such features?
I wasn't primarily looking for a plugin to tell me if a file is modified or not (which I can see it does, for files), but something that can push/pull, when necessary. If this plugin can't do that, that's fine, but there isn't enough information, IMO, to answer that question.

Also, the name itself, Git Commander, is, to me, and indication of a tool that can do more than just tell me if a file is modified or not.

Basically, you didn't help with either of my two questions/problems.

NoSubstitute,

This project is aimed to give some information from GIT repostiory to total commander.

tbeu made a 64-bit version: https://github.com/tbeu/WDX_GitCommander/releases/tag/v2.0.0.

But there's a problem with commit messages not appearing, https://github.com/tbeu/WDX_GitCommander/issues/1

Now we also have an updated README https://github.com/VladimirAlexiev/WDX_GitCommander/tree/patch-1:

• shows how to use WDX Guide to explore the available fields
• explains what Commit/Last/Fall mean

Hi! Thanks for the plugin!
Any plans for git submodule support?

[tbeu]

I checked submodules during dev and it worked for me as expected. I have no clue what your expectation is with Git submodules.

[Rucha]

Only one thing - see branch name of submodule (it could be different to main module) in such column. In my case it shows <DIR> instead of branch name.

[tbeu]

I guess the branch information cannot be obtained from the submodule hash.

[Rucha]

I don't know implementation details (how to get submodule branch name for particular folder) but I can see submodule name in folder context menu in TortoiseGit section.
