Changing SmartGit Free Trial License to Non-Commercial

Some developers might overlook the license selection when using the SmartGit. Instead of choose non-commercial, they by default clicked Next on the “30 days Free Trial”. Worse thing is reinstall the SmartGit won’t get you to change the license.

To alter the license. First, go to

Windows: %APPDATA%\syntevo\SmartGit\<main-smartgit-version>
OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/<main-smartgit-version>
Unix/Linux: ~/.smartgit/<main-smartgit-version>

and remove the file settings.xml.

Then start SmartGit program again. This time you will be ask about all the Settings information, which including the license!

@andfrolov7 Thanks a lot!

P.S. I found a solution to add a script as a new application in the Applications folder.

After previous actions:

1. Make the .sh file executable: chmod +x /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/MacOS/SmartGit
2. Create an Application using Automator:

• Open Automator. You can find it via Spotlight (press Cmd + Space, then type "Automator").
• Choose to create a new document and select "Application".
• In the left pane, under "Utilities", find "Run Shell Script" and drag it to the right pane.
• Replace the text in the script box with the /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/MacOS/SmartGit
• Save the Automator application (File > Save), name it (for example, SmartGift), and choose Where: "Applications"

3. Optionally, you can change the Application Icon:

• Find an image to use as the new icon (for example, from SmartGit: /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/Resources/icon.icns)
• Open the image in Finder.
• Right-click on your newly created application on the Applications folder and select "Get Info".
• Drag and drop the new icon to the small icon at the top left corner of the Info window.
