Build Identifier: 0.8.1 Committing is conceptually different from pushing; the two icons shouldn't be the same. Furthermore, committing only affects your local repository, whilst pushing affects remote. Similarly, fetching comes from remote, not your own repository. I suggest that we modify the icons for both fetch and push so that they're on the right of the database icon. That way, we distinguish them visually, and stuff-on-the-left only affects your local repo, whilst stuff-on-the-right affects remote ones. In cobbled together ASCII art, I propose doing something like: Commit: -> () Push: () -> Fetch: () <- Reproducible: Always
That's an interesting idea! Thanks for your ongoing feedback Alex.

We can use the same icons for the team menu.
