+
+### Added
+
+- Integrated Git LFS management now detects the available extension and the
+  repository setup, shows tracked patterns and checkout objects, and provides
+  actions for local activation, tracking and untracking patterns, downloading
+  objects, and pruning the local cache. Desktop installers bundle Git LFS,
+  while Arch packages declare it as a dependency.
+- The Changes panel now offers a List/Tree switch. Tree view groups staged and
+  unstaged files into independently collapsible folders while retaining all
+  existing file actions.
+- Gitty can open a repository directly at startup through the `--repo PATH` or
+  `--repo=PATH` command-line argument.
+
+### Changed
+
+- A successful Git pull now detects repositories that use LFS and downloads
+  the required LFS objects automatically with the same remote and credentials.
+- Unstaged and staged changes use an equal-width side-by-side layout with
+  independent scrolling, directional stage/unstage actions, and a responsive
+  vertical fallback. The List/Tree switch is centered above both areas.
+- Controls and surfaces use a more consistent square visual language while
+  circular status markers, avatars, and branch shapes remain recognizable.
+- The built-in German and English help now includes Git LFS setup, tracking,
+  troubleshooting, and everyday workflow guidance.
