Custom shortcut for TotalCommander and invoking TortoiseGit log at current folder

Question

I'm going over this topic everytime I setup new computer and I always have to make reasearch that takes me up to 20 mins. I like to use TortoiseGit together with TotalCommander.

To easy up navigation, I would like to open TortoiseGit - log, at currently opened folder. And ideally I would like to do that without touching any button (by mouse), instead just pressing keyboard shortcut.

How can this be achieved?

Answer 1

Answer to this question has 2 parts, first we need to understand, how to open TortoiseGit - log at current folder. It can be done by running following exe (full and shortened path):

• C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitProc.exe /command:log /path:.
• TortoiseGitProc.exe /command:log /path:.

Now we need to add this path to the TotalCommander. New custom command can be added as:

1. Go to Configuration, Misc.
2. Create new hotkey (e.g. CTRL+G)
3. Press Magnifier to select command
4. In Category select usercmd.ini and press New...
5. Insert your command (e.g. TortoiseGitProc /command:log /path:.), press OK
6. Aplly shortcut (by green mark) and press OK
