Question

I am still on the lookout for a Eclipse-like ROR IDE (at least it should have the functions that I am more or less used to having), and have decided to conduct a trial of RubyMine.

Unfortunately I quickly discovered two things:

1. Git log/history view: There isn’t an equivalent for Link with Editor and Selection (it’s the function that allows the history to be updated and limited to changes applicable to the active document at any point in time)

The closest is a per document history on separate tabs, there is no linking with editor or selection.

1. There is no way to reset to a particular commit (or branch from it) by right clicking on it. Is it really worse than gitk in this regard?!

Reset/branch at a particular commit is not possible at the Changes or the Version Control view (though possible via Checkout/Reset Head with ability to specify commit hashes). The context integration has room for improvement in this regard.

I would be very glad to be proven wrong on either/both counts.

Answer 1

1. There is no exactly this feature, but there is Show History from the file context menu. Multiple history tabs can be switched between in the Version Control panel.
2. Changes | Log panel has these actions in the context menu (New Branch, Checkout Revision).
