Hey all, I thought it would be nice if the sidebar project would really take off for once, so at the beginning of the 0.8 cycle would seem a good time.
I've started coding this up a bit. The change I did this time was to make the sidebar in a separate window (and .xib), so it is easy to merge in, which should hopefully make it easier to maintain. This means that the sidebar isn't really integrated yet, but you can see how it starts to take shape here: http://ss.frim.nl/==-Iiv5U This is after an hour of coding, so don't hit me. I've published the code to github in my pb/sidebar branch (http://github.com/pieter/gitx/commits/pb/sidebar). Before I start doing strange thing, I'd like some advice on how it should really take shape. I think we need some nice icons for the branches and remotes. I'd also like to integrate the "Commit" view in the sidebar, which would replace the 'view switch buttons' we have at the top right now. I thought this could go in an "Actions" part in the sidebar, where we could add more action (views) later on if necessary. What do you guys think? Is the general idea ok? Does anyone have suggestions for icons? Thanks, Pieter
