Editing remotes in git-cola

[Omega Weapon]

Morning,

I have very recently started using git, and am currently juggling
between various GUIs (along with having some knowledge of the reality
in the CLI) to try to get an idea of The Best GUI.

In giggle, you can edit a repository's remotes via Project ->
Properties -> Remotes tab - I cant seem to see an equivalent in cola?

Also, is my understanding that cola is a git-gui replacement rather
than a gitk replacement correct? This then explains launching gitk via
the visualise branches option.

Thanks for any help.

That's a TODO item. We want a good editor for remotes. I don't think
it'd be too hard to add. I was thinking that this would be a good
"next feature".

"alternative" is probably a better characterization. Launching gitk
is actually a historical thing -- these days we have "git dag" (which
you can launch from Tools -> DAG) which provides gitk-like
functionality.

Theres always The Best Application for something ;) Hmm, have been
comparing a git-cola install here (Debian) to at work (Windows) and I
can see the Debian package is quite out of date. v1.4.3.5 just has a
large visualisation and a diff below - perhaps I need to look into how
to request Debian update the package.

You should really only need to configure remotes once per repo.
Personally I find the combo of git-cola and gitg unbeatable in Ubuntu. Check gitg out as a much better alternative to gitk if you haven't tried it before.

My use case was the need to update a repo through a SSH tunnel at work,
and then have it work locally on my home network.

Yeah, I have played around with that and giggle. Currently as I am using
git on Windows, I am sticking with gitk as it is multiplatform.
Presumably I'll then get enough knowledge about it and why it is bad to
fork my usage on Debian.

Sure - obviously I am a n00b with this program and stuff in general, but
I will use it for real and see what happens.

Thanks, didnt realise you followed the group ;)

Morning Iulian,

I think with https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola/issues/113 , its best
to redo this testing after the next version of git-cola has been released.

Congrats David on a new release :)

Iulian: Any chance on a new package to start testing?

Thanks
