[Feature Request] Search / Filter repositories

[aedart]

When dealing with lots of repositories, the GUI doesn't offer much help to search, filter or sort repositories. The "enter path to repo" text field might be good enough for when you have a good archive structure. However, if your repositories are spread across multiple disks (poor structure), it is too time consuming to enter the full path to the repository in question.

Therefore, I believe that ungit will benefit greatly to add a simple search field, on it's index page, which should support searching for already added repositories.

The search algorithm itself doesn't have to be very complex. But it should be case insensitive.

I hope that you (or someone) has the time for this feature.

One question, what would be the searchable string? Folder name? git repo name?

P.S. And if you have so many git repo in your computer to a point where different search algorithm become a concern, I'm frightened by you.

I believe that you are displaying the folders. So, I guess it would be the most intuitive to be able to search for those.

As for the amount of my repositories... Well, I think I'm getting close to 40 repositories at work and expect that to increase a lot. Privately it much less and more manageable.

I see, I'm going to see if we can somehow recycle existing search bar to serve both purposes.

• Auto correction for the absolute path
• Auto correction for the name of the last folder

@aedart would that be sufficient?
@FredrikNoren is this too confusing?

@codingtwinky That sounds really nice. Huge thanks for your efforts :)
