Design 3.0

[PavelLaptev]

We're currently working on a design update, and I want to share the drafts with you here. Feel free to share your feedback.

Here are the drafts in Figma — https://www.figma.com/design/ShIiR6hI5dzH7sT5L03Jg1/Design-3.0?node-id=117-4396&t=8syE61yfTMw4G4ff-1

A quick intro. What’s new:

Commit Purgatory: A temporary holding area where changes are gathered before being committed. It helps solve the problem of where changed/locked files should go. It can also have presets and settings to make your workflow easier.

Branch Tabs: We’ve kept the ability to work with multiple branches, but the new layout focuses on one branch at a time. We found that most people don’t work on multiple branches at once, and the old design didn’t have enough space for extra content.

Simplified Sidebar: It's now simpler, and the branch list here has its own domain, making things more organized.

The main discussion is happening here, but I’m sharing this duplication just in case you don’t use Discord, but you want to share your thoughts.

Will the tab view be toggle-able at all, or will there be another easy way to work on two branches without switching tabs? I really like having two branches side-by-side to drag-n-drop between them and would be sad to see the functionality go.

Right now I don't think there are plans to bring back V2's side-by-side display of branches, yet I am quite certain that drag-and-drop between commits in different branches will be supported at some point.
Uncommitted changes in the working tree can be added to the new or existing commits in different branches by switching to each of them one by one.
