This commit updates the installer and configuration to transition from
GitLite to Gitty. It includes macros for migrating legacy data and
uninstalling the previous GitLite installation, ensuring a smoother
upgrade experience for users.
- Added migration and uninstallation macros for legacy GitLite data
- Updated application identifier from com.git-lite to com.gitty
- Enhanced post-installation cleanup for legacy shortcuts
This update introduces NSIS hooks for managing shortcuts and directories
during the installation and uninstallation of the application. The hooks
ensure that the desktop and start menu shortcuts are removed properly,
along with the associated program directory.
- Implement post-install and post-uninstall hooks in NSIS
- Update configuration to reference the new hooks file
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
This update introduces a complete set of high-resolution icons for all target platforms. This ensures consistent branding and visual identity across desktop, Android, and iOS environments. The tauri configuration file has been updated to utilize these new assets.
- Added full sets of Android mipmap density icons
- Included comprehensive iOS AppIcon assets for multiple sizes
- Updated tauri.conf.json with modern icon paths
Adds configuration to specify a dedicated icon for the NSIS installer when building on Windows. This improves the visual branding and user experience during the installation process.
- Configures the tauri build system to use a specific icon file.
This commit introduces a splash screen that enhances the user experience during application startup. It includes a new HTML file for the splash screen layout and a corresponding icon. The main application logic has been updated to close the splash screen once the main application is ready.
- Added a splash screen HTML and icon for improved visual feedback
- Updated main application logic to manage splash screen visibility
- Enhanced title bar branding with an image instead of SVG
This update introduces a new script to generate application icons in various sizes, including 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, and 512x512 pixels. The generated icons are now included in the Tauri configuration, ensuring that the application has the appropriate icons for different contexts.
- Added a script for generating icons from a source image
- Updated Tauri configuration to reference new icon sizes
- Included multiple icon formats for better compatibility
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
Cloning now accepts optional username/password and passes them to the
Rust git layer via GIT_ASKPASS, avoiding interactive prompts. The UI
detects authentication failures, opens the credential dialog for clone,
and auto-hides error messages to keep the flow smooth.
- Add username/password support to clone_repository and git.ts
- Detect auth failures and route users to the clone credential dialog
- Improve clone UX with a dedicated loading overlay and timed errors
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.
