Add a context-menu action to delete all branches in a folder at once.
Top-level remote folders are protected and the currently checked-out branch
is preserved. The BranchPanel API now includes folder depth to prevent
accidental bulk-deletes and summarizes individual failures after processing.
UI polish and localization were applied, and the package/version metadata,
changelog, and help overlay were updated for the 2026.8.4 release.
- Bulk delete with top-level remote protection and failure summaries.
- BranchPanel now tracks folder depth and disables unsafe context menus.
- Version bump, changelog/help overlay updates, and UI/localization tweaks.
This release adds upstream tracking for branches and a local-only
indicator in the UI.
The Git integration now exposes upstreams and supports publish flows.
This enables publishing and remote-tracking configuration.
- Introduces upstream tracking and local-only branch UI markers
- Updates toolbar to reflect publish-local state and status indicators
- Bumps version to 2026.8.3 and updates changelog
The application has been rebranded from GitLite to Gitty, which involved
updating various references across the codebase, including titles,
descriptions, and identifiers. This change reflects the new branding
strategy and ensures consistency in the user interface and backend.
- Updated project name and identifiers in configuration files
- Changed all instances of "GitLite" to "Gitty" in HTML and Svelte files
- Adjusted descriptions and help texts to match the new branding
Update the project and Tauri configuration version to 2026.7.14.
This keeps the package metadata and desktop app build in sync for
consistent release tracking.
- Bump version in package.json
- Bump version in tauri.conf.json
This change introduces a comprehensive auto-update mechanism for the application and significant improvements to the integrated Git client experience.
Key features include:
- **Automated Release Workflow:** A new Gitea Actions workflow (`app_builder.yaml`) and a Python `cicd_tool` are added to automatically build, sign, and upload release artifacts to S3-compatible storage (MinIO) upon a new release. This also generates the `latest.json` file required by the updater.
- **Tauri Updater Integration:** The `tauri-plugin-updater` is integrated into the application, enabling it to check for and apply updates seamlessly.
- **Robust Git Push Handling:** The application now intelligently handles non-fast-forward push failures by prompting the user to perform a pull/merge operation before re-attempting the push.
- **Enhanced File Comparison:** A new `compare_file_to_parent` command is introduced, allowing detailed file diffs against a commit's direct parent, including the "empty tree" for initial commits.
- **Explorer Panel Improvements:** "Expand All" and "Collapse All" functionality is added to the file explorer for better navigation.
