Is there a view/perspective in egit similar to Git GUI screen (see the attachment) where you can move items between the unstaged and staged lists, view the changes in the git diff format and commit the staged changes?

According to me this is the most comfortable way to progress with changes and I could not find it in egit.

The closest thing to that would be the Staging view: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/New_and_Noteworthy/1.0.0#Staging_View

Thanks, I see. It misses the file diff details on the same screen.

Review of changes is often required during staging. In my opinion displaying changes in the same screen would be more ergonomic, since it would require just 1 step to view next file changes instead of 3 steps: double click the item, open the diff screen, close the diff screen.

You can use also synchronize view (team -> synchronize workspace) to inspect local changes. If you would like to split changes into staged and un-staged you can use 'Git Change Set' model.

Good. Still the missing features in the synchronize perspective for me are:
- cannot set 'Git Change Set' as the default model
- flat presentation in preferences does not work for this model
- missing patch format comparison, if the change is at then end then I have to scroll the whole file instead of seeing it instantly,
- I use black background for my code editors and the black file comparison guides are not visible for me
- should come with Git staging view or commit view open by default, I know I can add it once and then it will be reopened by the perspective next time, but still

I hope I'm not rambling and the other people would also find those suggestions useful Smile

Also a 'Link with editor' button like we have for the package explorer would be great, but working opposite way to automatically load the changes for the current file in the navigation window.

Can you create enhancement requests in Bugzilla. Then we can track your requests, and others can vote.

Yes you can, just go Preferences -> Tam -> Git and select "Automatically enable change set grouping in Git synchronize"

This is already on my TODO list, same as compressed folder presentation

This seams like a general error in compare editor. I've see same problem in CVS integration.

I doubt that this would be useful, not every one like to have lots of views opened.

If you want to use Git Gui itself, it's quite easy, since egit defines some handy variables. Just create an external launcher to run the executable 'git' with arguments 'gui', and the working directory set to ${git_work_tree}. When you run the launcher you'll get a Git Gui window for the repository of the currently selected file or directory.
Probably you would want to configure the launcher to refresh the workspace when it's done so that egit can update the modification decorations.
For a little more generality, in case you decide to share the launcher, define your own variable, for instance 'git_exec', and use that as that, instead of 'git', as the executable, Each developer can then define this variable to point at their local installation, wherever it happens to be.

Of course all this assumes you have an ordinary Git installed and you're not relying entirely on jgit.
