Hi,

Could you explain a little more how you want this?

For the Branches there is currently the option to extract the Branch Name from the Solution Path. If your branch folder structure is like:

C:\GIT\Project\Main\Solution\Solution.sln

C:\GIT\ProjectA\Beta\Solution\Solution.sln

C:\GIT\ProjectA\...\Solution\Solution.sln

You can use a Regular Expression like this: [a-zA-Z]:\\.*\\(?<branchName>.*)\\(.*?)\\(.*)\.sln

Than you can use "branchName" to be shown on the Banner ind one of the 4 Text Fields.

Hi!

I would like to get the git branch name and not the project name (although, that is also an information I want to get), which doesn’t reflect on the windows filesystem.

If you do a “git checkout myBranchName”, I want to be able to get “myBranchName” as <branchName> in addition to being able to get parts of the filepath of the solution and put it on the jumplist as well as banners.

Have a look at the following extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mayerwin.RenameVisualStudioWindowTitle  -- here you can use [gitBranchName] for example.

Hi,

ok i didn't worked with git before. Thanks for the example Extension i will have a look how to extract that information and add it.

For the JumpList i don't actually have a idea how you want this? The JumpList is global and not dependant on any opened solution/branch. Could you give me an example how it should behavE?

Hi Marin!

On the jumplist, I would like to see the "Solution Name", the "RepoName" (part of the filepath) and the gitBranchName (although, in the meantime, this could have changed but, I would like to see on a glance which solution, on wich repo (I have a few to work in parallel) and on which gitBranch I was working on.

Attached is a mockup how I would like to see the jumplist

Ok, we talking about the recent entries. There i only have the file path, could you give me some example how such a file path could look like?

Or what would help as well is an open source project which has branches which i could use for testing.

eg.:

C:\xy\REPOS\REPO1\source\CustomerSolutions\customer_A\solution_A.sln <on gitBranch_1>

C:\xy\REPOS\REPO2\source\CustomerSolutions\customer_B\solution_B.sln <on gitBranch_2>

C:\xy\REPOS\REPO2\source\library\reporting\some_reporting_solution.sln   <on gitBranch_2>

C:\xy\REPOS\REPO3\source\CustomerSolutions\customer_B\solution_B.sln <on gitBranch_3>

and for those i want to see on the jump list:

solution_A | REPO1 | <on gitBranch_1>

solution_B | REPO2 | <on gitBranch_2>

some_reporting_solution_A | REPO2 | <on gitBranch_1>

solution_B | REPO3 | <on gitBranch_3>

Ok, understand. REPOX should already be possibile with regex, but i guess the git branch names are not part of the path.

Regex: "[a-zA-Z]:\\.*\\REPOS\\(?<repoName>.*?)\\(.*)\\(?<typeName>.*?)\\(?<solutionName>.*?)\.sln"

Format: "{solutionName} | {repoName} | {typeName}"

I will investigate if it's possible to get the git branch name from a path.

eg., with https://github.com/mono/ngit  you could do: 

NGit.Storage.File.FileRepository dir = new NGit.Storage.File.FileRepository("git dir");

or you could ask git on command line:

cool thanks. that should make it easier :)
