FR: Go to a commit by entering its hash in the search box
This request has been popping up since the year 2012: obsolete ticket, then an obsolete request on the feedback forum. Since the forum is now obsolete too, I am reopening the request here.
I would like to be able to go to a commit by entering its hash into the search box. The feature does not seem hard to implement as all the required machinery seems already there, and SHA ids are even autodetected in tickets (try 448c19aa from plain text 448c19a
). But this attempt to go through the search box finds nothing: https://gitlab.com/search?project_id=13083&scope=commits&search=448c19a
I know I can search for a commit id by constructing a URL, but this is quite unwieldy. I need a concealed answer sheet to do that every time! ;-)
I am not writing much in support of the feature usability, as other people have said enough already within the 4.5 years this request has been standing. Please consider it if possible.
