Description

So unless I'm still missing something, Github doesn't have a place to request a new feature in a project.........I digress

Anyway, would it be possible to add a simple Git Status menu submenu item to the Git Sketch plugin? I'd really like to check the status of my Sketch project repo prior to actually committing. Right now, I have to issue a commit, only for it to fail (as an example) and then show me the git status message...

Just a thought

Research direction

Start by locating the Git Sketch plugin's existing menu and commit handling, then trace how repository status messages are surfaced after a failed commit. Done means a Git Status submenu item can be invoked before committing and displays the repository status.
