Hi, since I am slowly switching all my repositories to metadata-less, it would be cool if there was some GUI for it. The best place would be when right clicking on the repository in the monticello browser, unfortunately that menu is hardcoded. An alternative is to add another button the repository detail, i.e.: MCFileTreeGitRepositoryInspector>>buttonSpecs repository readonly ifTrue: [ ^ super buttonSpecs ] ifFalse: [ ^ #(#('Pull' gitPull 'git pull and refresh') #('Push' gitPush 'git push' gitNeedPush)) , super buttonSpecs , (repository hasMetadata ifTrue: [ #(#('Remove Metadata' removeMetadata 'switch to metadata-less mode')) ] ifFalse: [ #() ]) ] MCFileTreeGitRepositoryInspector>>removeMetadata "Switch the repository to a metadata-less mode" | properties | properties := STON fromString: repository directory / '.filetree'. properties at: 'Metadata' put: 'false'. (repository directory / '.filetree') ensureDelete; writeStreamDo: [ :stream | stream nextPutAll: (STON toJsonStringPretty: properties) ]. repository gitCommand: #('commit' '-m' 'Switched repository to metadata-less mode.' '--' '.filetree') in: repository directory. repository flushCache. self refresh Not the prettiest, but it seems to work. Btw I've written a short post for this https://www.peteruhnak.com/blog/2016/08/05/switch-to-metadata-less-gitfiletr... Peter
