Reduce vertical space in commit graph about sublime_merge HOT 11 OPEN

+1 for being able to hide certain elements.

You can customize the margin and colors in a sublime theme to alleviate the issue. Go to your packages folder and update the theme file (not sure if the file exists by default, mine is located at AppData\Roaming\Sublime Merge\Packages\User\Merge Dark.sublime-theme on Windows).

{
    "variables":
    {
        "author_label": "rgb(70, 70, 70)",
        "time_label": "rgb(80, 80, 80)",
    },
    "rules":
    [
        {
            "class": "author_label",
            "fg": "var(author_label)"
        },
        {
            "class": "time_label",
            "fg": "var(time_label)"
        },
        {
            "class": "commit_summary_control",
            "content_margin" : [2,1,0,1]
        }
    ]
}

Full theme documentation is available here.

You could add a negative margin and get it to one-line that way, but unfortunately it also hides the annotations.

    "class": "commit_summary_control",
    "content_margin" : [2,0,0,-16]
},

Yes! This and the density of the diffs (#624, #386) are the biggest pain points for me. There is a lot going on in even medium sized projects, and so being able to see more at once is important. Date and commit author being (optionally) hidden unless there is enough horizontal space for them, but shown on a tooltip, would be ideal. I can see literally twice as many commits in tortoisehg:

(this is a simple mostly linear example but our project is yet to convert our more collaborative branchy repos to git - it will be much more important for them!)

Besides compactness, it also makes it faster to read.

If the view is wide enough, the author/date could be displayed on the right, and they could also be show as a tooltip on hover.

Adding my support for this. Showing more commits by reducing vertical space would produce quantum leaps in benefit. Spotting patterns synoptically is everything.

This is the biggest problem I have with SM. GitX commit graph was/is far more efficient and easier on the eyes.

from sublime_merge.

Let me say it's currently not bad, but it would be better if we could configure it to be more compact if required. For example, hiding certain elements such as Committer, or Date.

Some might like it displayed as a table with columns (see #567), but I haven't had a pressing need for that yet.

If you're on a mac you need to add that file to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Merge/Packages/User.
If you use the light theme the file name should be Merge.sublime-theme

Thanks so much @strawlink, I can see ~50% more commits now!

This is with the following (font face and colours obviously to taste, but shrinking the annotations was important to increasing the density since they determine the space between the commit message and author/time lines of each row):

        "author_label": "rgb(120, 120, 120)",

I need a one line layout for commit graph
Is the theme solution only available after buy licenses? seems not work

from sublime_merge.

Bump. It would be great if there was toggle setting - which will show comits in one-line fashion. or drop-down in preferences with scale presets from which the user can quickly choose: 25% 50% 75% of normal size

from sublime_merge.

Just saw the new preference commit_graph_author_date added in Build 2077.
Was hoping it would close this, but unfortunately it is unrelated 😢
