Main window - PreCyz/GitDiffGenerator GitHub Wiki

The main window is the hearth of the UI. From here you can:

• go to every corner of the application,
• execute item generation,
• manage the configurations,
• set Toolkit credentials.

This is the reflection of all parameters that are defined in the Gipter application. You should know how to set them.

Otherwise, your settings will be lost!
