The git module now correctly handles scenarios where the selected base branch is diverged from HEAD. This removes unnecessary ancestor checks during rebase planning, improving overall robustness of the feature. Additionally, the ReflogDialog component was updated to reliably retrieve the current HEAD hash for accurate display in the UI.
- Removed strict ancestor checking when starting interactive rebase operations.
- Updated App.svelte to accurately find and use the current HEAD entry from reflog data.
This commit removes the dedicated feature QA page and significantly refactors the internal Git library logic for handling complex workflows, particularly interactive rebase. The changes introduce helper functions to manage temporary files and ensure proper cleanup of rebase artifacts regardless of success or failure. This improves the reliability of advanced git operations within the application.
- Added comprehensive cleanup routines for rebase helpers
- Centralized constants for rebase file names
- Removed obsolete QA feature code
This update significantly expands Git functionality by implementing support for advanced workflows, including interactive rebasing and recovering lost commits via the reflog.

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

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 improves the splashscreen management during application startup. The splashscreen will now remain visible for a minimum duration and will only close after the main application is ready, ensuring a smoother user experience.
- Introduced a new startup sequence to manage background tasks.
- Added error handling for splashscreen closure to maintain functionality.
- Optimized the timing for displaying and hiding the splashscreen.
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

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

consistent release tracking.
- Bump version in package.json
- Bump version in tauri.conf.json
This change introduces new Tauri commands to amend the last commit with
an optional message, fetch the last commit message, and undo the most
recent commit safely. The UI now offers an amend toggle and an undo
button only when the last commit hasn’t been pushed upstream, reducing
the risk of rewriting shared history.
- Add amend/undo/last-message git commands in Rust
- Wire new operations into the Svelte commit panel UI
- Add styling and state handling for amend mode

The CI workflow now installs the required Rust toolchain and uv on
Ubuntu, and passes a no-strip flag into the Tauri build to control
binary stripping behavior per platform. The CI helper script was
updated to collect only expected bundle and signature files, reducing
noise and improving upload correctness. Versioning was aligned across
the Node package and Tauri config for the new release.
- Add platform-specific no_strip handling in the build workflow
- Install Rust toolchain/uv for Ubuntu builds
- Filter collected artifacts by expected extensions and signatures
Git operations that stage or restore many files could exceed the Windows
command line length limit, causing os error 206 failures. This change
splits file paths into size-bounded chunks and concatenates the output
from multiple git invocations to keep commands within safe limits.
- Chunk file path arguments for Windows compatibility
- Add a local dev command to list pkg-config packages
The CI workflow now builds a single bundle per run, adds Linux
AppImage output, and updates the Tauri version using a Node script.
The publishing tool is extended to recognize Linux artifacts,
select a primary artifact based on the target platform, and merge
platform entries into an existing latest.json when present.
- Limit matrix parallelism and pass bundle targets to Tauri
- Update updater platform handling and latest.json merging
- Add Linux Tauri config for AppImage bundling
