[BUG] Merge Target not shown | Behind Tracker

[adam1010]

Describe the bug When a branch is behind the merge target (master in our case), that information is not displayed. Is it necessary for me to tell gittoolbox what branch is the merge target so that it knows to show that information?

To Reproduce

Storm view

Github view

Storm settings

Expected behavior Expecting to see Behind Tracker showing the branch is 22 commits behind

Plugin version 212.8.8

IDE version PhpStorm 2021.3.2

Hi, it's parent branch mode which is described here:

• https://github.com/zielu/GitToolBox/wiki/Manual#git-status-display
• https://github.com/zielu/GitToolBox/wiki/Manual#parent-branch-mode

Whether is works on not depends on config and usage. In general git has no notion of PR - it does not track into which branch another one is supposed to be merged.

If someone using IDE Task management I can extract that info and as alternative if can be configured.

I might add a feature that assumes parent branch is the one from which current one was created but it's tricky.
