A few ideas

[nilshoerrmann]

First of all, I have to say that I really like Gity and that is has become my default app to handle my Git repositories. Nevertheless, there are two things that I would love to see as an improvement:

• Default branch: When pushing a repository for the first time I often get the message that no default remote has been set. If there is only one remote, it would be nice if Gity could just use that remote (not set it as default but use it). If there are multiple remotes, it would be nice if Gity could offer a select box in the message window to specify the default remote directly. Currently it displays a message explaining how to set the default remote in the context menu.
• Adding new submodules: I often add submodules from Github or Codebase. I therefore copy the URL of the repository I like to add. It would be nice if Gity could check if there is a URL in the clipboard when showing the interface for submodule additions. It could then prefill the repository URL and name.

In my opinion this could make Gity even better as it is now. I don't have the knowledge to add this to the app myself, but if of the devs could add these features in the future it would make at least one person happy :)

default branch: i fixed this a little while ago in my fork.

i may add your other suggestion, but its not at the top of the priority list. i'll leave this open as a reminder.
