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)
