3 years ago Hi @williamluke4,
Thanks for raising this feature request, this would definitely be great to have in Git Graph!
The only hesitation I have is that this is a vendor specific capability, which can only be used by the portion of the extensions users that use public GitHub repositories and GitHub actions. One of the biggest factors I use when prioritising the implementation of features is the number of users will get value from the feature, so anything vendor specific is generally lower on the list. Additionally, once I implement one vendor specific feature, almost certainly many others will follow for a variety of different vendors - leading to a lot of code sitting unused for every user (currently the extension is very lean).
The only exception I’ve currently made to this rule is for commit author avatars, as it is a broad capability available by most vendors, and it was fairly reasonable to support the most common vendors (so a large portion of users were able to use it). In saying that, avatars have been extremely painful to deal with in the long term.
I’ll see how much user interest there is for this feature. If enough users would value this feature, I’ll happily implement it.
FYI: I included the above vendor comments just to make people aware that it is something I have to consider (most users overlook it). As long as there’s enough users who indicate they will value a feature, I’ll implement it regardless of whether it's vendor neutral or vendor specific.
