The Nodered Projects UI is such a great feature, but I find that I sometimes commit changes and then forget to push them to a branch.

I think this is largely because the push, pull, and branch buttons are all hidden away in the commit history tab which is collapsed and hidden by default. I think the UI could definitely use some improvements and I hope that other people feel the same way and this can gain some traction.

If I were to redesign the interface I would move things into the main view like :

Button Bar: Branch | Push/Pull | Refresh

(optionally) Contextual Bold Colored Info Bar:

- "You are up to date"
- "You have 2 local commits. Push | Diff --staged"
- "You are 2 commits behind. Pull | Fetch & Compare"

Tabs: Files | Commit History

Files:  
A list of staged files  
--- separator (tight alignment, not stretched across the entire screen)  
A list of unstaged files

Commit History: Same

Commit Diff View: mimic github's PRs:

- hide all unchanged nodes and only show parameters that have changed
- show all function code red-green diffs by default at the top level (so you can just scroll through them)
- have compressed way to show nodes that only changed position (like display them inline block or something) - because they are changes but also not really

* * *

The idea being to localize git state in single views instead of having things tucked away, difficult to navigate, and easy to overlook.
