Configure notifications and logging
Preferences › Notifications sets Where notifications appear, whether to Show success notifications, and Desktop notifications from your system. Extended logging in General writes more detail to the local log, from the next launch, to help diagnose a problem; nothing is sent anywhere.
Works in GitTree Free: every local Git feature, once you are signed in.

Steps
Place the notifications
Choose Where notifications appear: Top right, Top left, Bottom left or Bottom right.
Keep them quiet
Turn off Show success notifications to hide confirmations such as “Pushed main”; warnings and errors are always shown.
Turn on desktop notifications
Turn on Show desktop notifications; your system asks for permission. Send a test notification checks it.
Log more when something is wrong
Turn on Extended logging in General, restart GitTree and reproduce the problem.
Expected result
You are told about what finishes or fails, where and how you want.
If something goes wrong
“Sent. If nothing appeared, check your system’s notification settings and Do Not Disturb.”
Allow GitTree in your system’s notification settings and turn Do Not Disturb off.
Questions
What do desktop notifications show?
The repository name only: never a path, an address, a branch or a commit message.
