This update introduces full support for Git worktrees, allowing users to manage multiple isolated working copies within a single repository. This includes new functionality to list, add, remove, move, lock, and repair worktrees, significantly enhancing the repository's capability to handle parallel development streams.
- Added `GitWorktree` structure definition across API contracts and Rust backend
- Implemented full CRUD operations for worktrees in Tauri commands
- Updated UI components (App.svelte, BranchPanel.svelte) to expose worktree management dialog
This update significantly expands the available Git functionality by adding robust support for initializing repositories, managing remotes, and improving complex workflow operations like merging and reverting commits. New API endpoints are exposed across the backend and frontend to handle remote setup, branch tracking, and conflict resolution workflows.
- Added full remote management capabilities (add, update, remove).
- Implemented advanced merge strategies and commit reversion logic.
- Introduced a dedicated UI component for synchronization settings.
Introduces a robust system for running automated, staged diff reviews against various large language models. This feature allows users to submit their changes to external AI services and receive structured feedback on potential bugs, security issues, and maintainability risks before committing.
The implementation covers the entire stack:
* Backend logic was added to handle API communication with OpenAI, Anthropic, and custom endpoints.
* A dedicated parser ensures that complex JSON outputs from LLMs are reliably converted into structured findings (severity, title, description).
* New components and UI elements provide a clear visualization of the AI's assessment and actionable suggestions.
- Supports multiple major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic)
- Parses structured JSON output for consistent review results
- Adds dedicated UI dialog to display AI findings and risk level
This update introduces comprehensive language support (English/German) across the application, enabling localization for UI elements and settings dialogs. It also adds a dedicated Help Overlay component with detailed guides on using Gitty's core Git features.
- Adds language selection to App Settings
- Implements German translations in key areas
- Introduces global help documentation accessible via Ctrl+/
This update significantly expands Git functionality by implementing support for advanced workflows, including interactive rebasing and recovering lost commits via the reflog. New logic handles preparing the necessary environment files (todo lists and reword queues) required by Git's internal editors. The frontend components are also updated to expose these new capabilities to the user interface.
- Implements full planning and execution flow for interactive rebase
- Adds functionality to list and restore commits using the reflog history
- Updates Rust backend commands to support advanced git operations
Adds comprehensive theme management across the application, allowing users to save their preferred color scheme (light/dark) or automatically follow the operating system's settings. This required updating state management in App.svelte to handle theme loading and applying changes dynamically via CSS variables.
The styling layer was significantly updated with new CSS variables and rules for both dark and light modes, ensuring visual consistency across all components like dialogs, buttons, and sidebars.
- Added logic to detect system color scheme preference
- Implemented full support for persistent light/dark mode switching
- Overhauled global CSS variables for improved theme adaptability
Integrate Aptabase analytics via a Tauri plugin and add a privacy
notice flow plus a settings dialog to control whether anonymous
usage events are sent. The app now tracks key user actions while
ensuring analytics never blocks core Git operations.
- Add analytics tracking helper and Aptabase plugin wiring
- Persist analytics consent in localStorage and gate tracking
- Introduce notice and settings dialogs, plus new event calls
This change introduces a new backend command to fetch file blame using
git's line-porcelain output and returns structured per-line metadata.
The UI adds a BlameDialog that groups lines by commit, highlights
uncommitted changes, and styles the dialog to match the updated theme.
- Add get_file_blame command and parsing with uncommitted detection
- Wire BlameDialog into the explorer file node actions
- Add blame UI component and supporting types and styles
This update extends the Git backend and UI to support listing,
creating, deleting, and pushing tags. It also adds cherry-pick
commands with proper in-progress detection and conflict handling, and
prevents other operations while a cherry-pick is active.
- Add GitTag model, tag listing, and tag CRUD/push commands
- Implement cherry-pick start/continue/abort with status tracking
- Update UI to display tags and gate actions during cherry-pick
This introduces Git rebase commands (start, continue, abort) and
exposes whether a rebase is currently in progress via the status
payload. The UI now blocks committing during an active rebase and
shows a dedicated rebase notice with continue/abort actions.
- Add tauri commands for rebase operations and status detection
- Update frontend to render rebase state and controls
- Adjust conflict/resolution messaging and related UI styling
This change introduces Git stash support end-to-end, including a new
backend command to list stashes and operations to push, apply, pop, and
drop them. The frontend now fetches stashes as part of the repository
bundle and provides a dedicated panel to manage shelved changes.
- Add GitStash model and Tauri commands for stash operations
- Implement StashPanel component and wire it into the app
- Adjust sidebar layout and add stash-specific styling
Improve the commit message generation process by adding a caching mechanism and refining the input handling. This change aims to enhance performance and prevent redundant computations when generating commit messages based on staged changes.
- **src-tauri/crates/commit_ai/src/cloud.rs**:
- Introduced `looks_like_diff_echo` function to detect if the model's output is a diff instead of a commit message.
- Updated `openai_compatible_request` and `generate_anthropic` to utilize the new function for error handling.
- **src-tauri/crates/commit_ai/src/lib.rs**:
- Added `LocalGenerationProfile` enum for managing different generation profiles.
- Implemented caching for generated messages to avoid redundant processing.
- Updated `generate_commit_message` to incorporate caching logic.
- **src-tauri/src/git.rs**:
- Added `staged_diff_local` function to handle local profile generation and exclude specific lock files from the diff.
- Modified `commit_ai_generate` to accept and process the local generation profile.
- **src/App.svelte**:
- Added `lastLocalAiGeneratedMessage` state to track the last generated message and prevent unnecessary updates.
- **.claude/settings.local.json**:
- Updated settings to include additional commands for better functionality.
Add OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, and custom endpoint support while
keeping the local model path intact. The UI now lets users choose the
provider and local model, and staged diffs are prepared more carefully
so generated commit messages stay focused and usable.
- src-tauri/crates/commit_ai/*
- Add HTTP-based generators for OpenAI, Anthropic, and custom APIs.
- Introduce shared request/response handling and message sanitizing.
- Expand prompt building to require a body and trim long diffs safely.
- Expose selectable local model metadata and loading by model ID.
- src-tauri/src/git.rs
- Add commands for listing local models and loading them in background.
- Route generation by provider and include staged file lists in prompts.
- Exclude noisy lockfiles from detailed staged diffs.
- src-tauri/src/main.rs
- Wire the new AI commands into the Tauri app setup.
- src/lib/components/*
- Add an AI settings dialog and update the commit panel for provider
and model selection.
- src/lib/git.ts, src/lib/types.ts, src/App.svelte, src/app.css
- Extend frontend state, types, and styling for AI provider settings.
- src-tauri/Cargo.lock, src-tauri/crates/commit_ai/Cargo.toml
- Add reqwest and serde_json for cloud API requests.
Introduce a new dialog that allows users to view file changes as individual hunks and selectively stage, unstage, or discard them. This provides more granular control over modifications, similar to `git add -p`.
Enhance branch panel usability by allowing double-click to checkout a branch.
Consolidate multiple Git backend calls into a single bundle to reduce
overhead when opening and auto-refreshing repositories. This significantly
improves performance by fetching status, branches, commits, and files
in one optimized operation, instead of re-running 'git rev-parse' and
'git status' multiple times.
Also, streamline commit history loading by fetching file changes inline
via 'git log --name-status -z', eliminating expensive per-commit
'git diff-tree' processes.
Additionally, introduce the ability to create new branches from a
specific commit in the history and refactor the commit comparison
feature into a dedicated dialog. The status panel now displays concise
file names.
