Roadmap

BranchHopper is being actively developed. Here is what we plan to do next:

Version 0.0.X.0 – Upcoming WIP Features

Version Control & Git Integration

  • Mac Support (it really isn’t as easy as it should be)
  • Proper GIT integration with online services such as Github, Azure DevOps, …
  • Integration of the “branching” concept

UX Improvements

  • Integrate more functionality directly into the GH canvas (goal: less “in your face :-)”)
  • Improved UX for Script and Text based Components changes
  • Customizable hotkeys for common operations

General

  • GH2 Integration (once GH2 is sort of stable)
  • Check major plugins support? (Maybe already works for all of them)
