This update introduces the tauri-plugin-single-instance to ensure that
only one instance of the application can run at a time. Additionally,
the code has been reformatted for better readability, with consistent
line breaks and spacing.
- Added single instance plugin to prevent multiple app instances
- Improved code formatting for better readability and maintenance
- Updated dependencies in Cargo.toml for new plugin integration
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
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
Introduce a full-screen, animated overlay to provide visual feedback
when the application is opening a repository. This prevents perceived
delays and informs the user about the ongoing operation.
Also, enhance build performance and binary size by configuring
Cargo profiles:
- Development: Enable incremental compilation, use line-tables-only
debug info, and optimize third-party dependencies to speed up
rebuilds and improve runtime snappiness during development.
- Release: Apply aggressive optimizations (opt-level 3, thin LTO,
single codegen unit, stripping) for smaller, faster binaries.
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.
