Githawk: Source code browsing with a specific branch

[ivan-magda]

Currently, we can browse the source with default branch. It would be nice to add the ability to select a branch to browse for.

Like this GitHub menu:

I def think this is doable. We need a UX for picking the active branch. Maybe as part of the repo header?

@rnystrom something like that? After pressing UIAlertAction, navigate to branch selection controller.

[ivan-magda]

The right UX is the most important part here.

@BasThomas how would you imagine UX?

We could start with an easy UIAlertController like this and have the "Branch" as the title. It supports scrolling if the alert actions overflow the screen height.

Not sure how ideal it is as that won't support searching / pagination.

Maybe make use of ContextMenu.
Matches UI
Lists the branches with a checkmark next to the one your currently viewing
Not sure if ContextMenu supports search but I feel it could be added.

Ya I’d love to covert the alert menu for tapping the title to ContextMenu. Then it makes doing this advanced stuff really really easy.

Also we need a way to show what branch you’re currently on.

@rnystrom NavigationTitle? GitHawkApp/GitHawk/Master? May be a bit long.

I think navigation title looks as it should, it’s not the best solution to make it a bit more complicated.

Exists repositories with longer names, which can cause problems.

Let's poke around on other apps and design sites to get some ideas. I browse Dribbble daily to pull inspiration or find new ideas. Maybe there's something that'll help.

Implemented #2162
