Aris Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi all, I would like to ask you about the options available to hide branches in the branch explorer. We have a lot of branches (about 250) in our development process. Some of them are branches with pending integrations but most have already been integrated to main branch so we would like to show in the branch explorer only those that have not been integrated, regardless of the date they were created. A "date filter" (from display options panel) is not enough for us, because there are some branches created long ago and if for any reason they were not integrated, we need to see them. In addition, we would like all developers visualize the same branches, then "Toogle visibility edition mode" (from display options panel) it is not enough for us because this functionality is useful only for an user and it would be necessary to use it (and to hide branch by branch) for each developer. So, is there any "Toogle visibility edition mode" or similiar feature that apply to the whole repository?. What would be the correct procedure to hide branches (in the repository and for all developers) in order to show only not integrated branches and simplify branch explorer cotent? Thanks in advance.

manu Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi Aris! You can highlight your "pending to integrate" branches by adding a "Conditional format" rule. Just click on "Conditional format" -> "Add format rule" and select "Branches with pending integrations". You can also use the Conditional format query system to create your own custom rule. All the rules and branch explorer actions are applied to the visible branches, the ones returned by the server according to your date filter, 250 branches are a few, not bad, but, we have more than 3500!! xD and I use the branch explorer without a date filter.... It's not a big deal... We are thinking in create an utility to share config files between clients, it's done for some bug tracking systems extensions and we have to extend it to more configuration files. Now, you can share the hidden_branches.conf file (at C:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Local\plastic) with all the developers, but I guess it's a little bit annoying... Currently we don't have a way to hide branches regarding rules, we only can highlight branches and hide them manually. Regards, manu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psantosl Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 If you want to enforce visibility for everyone you can always deny the "view" permission on the branches you need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
