[feature] Bookmarks

[viktorbenei]

First of all thank you for this amazing project! I'm on a hunt for a great cross platform (mainly OS X and Linux) Git GUI.

I really like the UX of git-webui and there's only one thing I'm missing from it: a bookmarking interface. Something similar to SourceTree's repository bookmark list window - where you can add new repositories to your list, check the status of all of your bookmarked repositories and open any with just a click.

I think this would make managing git repositories a lot easier (I have about 30-40 repos in my SourceTree bookmarks).

Interesting idea, but currently git-webui handles only a single repository : the one in which the command has been launched.
Maybe these bookmarks could spawn new git-webui server instances.

Thanks for the feedback

That's a great idea - a main webui process for the bookmarks and then spawn new processes per-repo (could open a new tab/window too - SourceTree opens new window when opening a repository as well).

Hello, and thanks for such an amazing and easy to use project, and with a beautiful UI.

Let me add a suggestion for the README that may be related to this issue. It would be nice if the README made reference to the existence of the command-line parameters (or at least just the --help).

I was about to ask if it is possible to view different repositories at once, and indeed it is (although it's not obvious and it may not be very efficient, but it's perfect by now for me). Just launch different instances, each one in a different port, like 👍

marc@pc:~/.../proj1$ git webui --port 8001
marc@pc:~/.../proj2$ git webui --port 8002

Perhaps it may also be helpful to add this little trick to the README as a workaround for serving more than 1 repos.

BTW, --help does not work, but -h does work.
