Is there any official channel for feedback?

I just opened this on my repo and there's 3 immediate things I noticed:

1. The commit message UI sprouts a subtle 72 column marker when I put text in it, which is nice. But what it's missing is the even more subtle 50 column marker that I expect for the first line. Standard git commit style says the first line should try to be shorter than 50 chars because it's frequently shown as a summary and you don't want it truncated. Other tools like GitUp and GitX handle this nicely.

2. The diff view doesn't seem to have syntax highlighting for .swift files. I see highlighting for Tcl and Obj-C so I can confirm it's highlighting in general, but nothing for Swift. This is a rather surprising omission.

3. I can't actually commit using this app at all, because it seems to think I have no configured user details. Trying to commit pops up a dialog for me to set it either globally or locally. But I do already have it configured globally. In fact, I have it configured globally twice. I have it first in ~/.git/config, and then I also have it overridden in ~/.git/config.local, and my ~/.git/config has an [include] section that specifies `path = config.local`. I'm wondering if Sublime Merge is getting confused by that include and throwing away my entire global config?



https://forum.sublimetext.com/ is the best place for feedback atm.

1. You can setup two rulers via adding "rulers": [50, 72] to Commit Message.sublime-settings, which is available via the Preferences menu.

2. We don't have Swift syntax highlighting out of the box, but if you have it installed for Sublime Text, we'll pick it up

3. Thanks for the report, I'll investigate


On the topic of setting the user details, that UI element stretches across the entire width of the area, right up until the "Nothing to commit" button. A few times I clicked in that "empty" space to close a dropdown menu and was wondering why the "set user details" dialog popped up.
