Description John J. Barton

Often as soon as I commit and push, I want to merge then switch back to my dev branch. I believe this a common workflow.

Currently I have to go to the repository link, drill down on my project, checkout other branch, then merge.

Better would be link from the git-status page to the git-clone page open on the branch I just pushed.

Best would be if the git-status page offered checkout+merge for other branches just when I finished, ie when my list of unstaged/staged files was complete.

Just to clear up, is that what would you do in the console (assuming you're on master)?

git commit ...; git push origin master:master; git merge dev; git checkout dev

What are the changes you have just pushed? Are they merged from the dev branch?

What I usually do with my opened dev branches, is after I pushed some changes I rebase all of them (with master). Have you tried that?

I may be able to solve this generically with "related pages"

fixed with a new command "go to repository" in the git plugin.
Then a "related links" contribution for the command.

This surfaces in several ways:

- the "related pages" menu contains "Repository" when you are a Git Status page (the original request), Git Log page, or the navigator (if the nav root is in a git repo)
- also, from the nav objects you can select a folder and choose "Git Repository"
