Make open repo tabs scrollable

17 votes

I am the lead over several projects, and have to context-shift regularly. If you add multiple projects to GitKraken, the tabs at the top start getting cut off, to the point that it's unreadable, and can be difficult to find the one you're looking for. I end up having to constantly close and reopen tabs. VS Code recently introduced a feature that kept the full tab size, and enabled you to scroll side to side using your mouse wheel.

I use multiple (8) profiles simply as a tool for managing tabs and even then, most of the profiles have 10+ repos causing the names to be truncated.
Additionally, short repo names get truncated to just the first character which makes finding the right one a real pain.

Multi-line tabs is a feature too.

If I have more than 35 repos open in my gitkraken instance, the names are concatenated and I have to hover over each of them to see the name of the repo.

My suggestion is to always show the name of the repo and maybe make the row scrollable (Like VSCode)
Add an option to move the tabs to the left side nav (Like brave browser/arc browser)

Nice to see this issue start gaining traction, since 2021 :sad:

I think it should be a very quick fix
