Add support for authenticated deletion of remote branches and folders.
The backend adds a batch delete command that queries the remote,
performs an atomic push --delete when possible with a fallback, and
prunes stale tracking refs; it accepts optional credentials. The
frontend and JS API integrate credential handling and prompt users when
authentication is required.
- New batch deletion command with optional username/password for auth.
- Uses ls-remote to scope deletions, tries --atomic then falls back.
- Frontend updates: credential dialog/action, pendingRemoteDelete state.
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.
Add ability to delete all branches in a folder from the UI. Add a
handler to batch-delete local or remote branches and refresh views.
- Batch deletion handles remote and local branches and reports failures.
- Folder context menu receives branches and disables delete if needed.
- Track folder deletion attempts and failures via telemetry.
This update enhances the context menu for branches and tags by
ensuring it fits within the viewport, preventing overflow and
improving usability. Additionally, the styling of the branch
context menu has been adjusted for better visibility and
interaction.
- Added dynamic positioning for context menus to avoid overflow
- Updated CSS for branch context menu to improve layout and usability
- Simplified context menu opening logic for better performance
Adds a new command to rename remote branches and update tracking refs.
Renaming remote refs is performed atomically using a single push.
The push creates the new remote ref and deletes the old if it succeeds.
The frontend now invokes remote-rename when needed and shows labels.
- Atomic remote rename via push with create/ref and delete
- Frontend supports remote branch renames from the branch panel
- Compare UI now shows labels for remote refs in results
Introduces a dedicated section and interactive button for managing repository worktrees within the branch list view. This improves visibility into the overall state of local repositories by grouping related controls.
- Adds visual styling and structure for the new worktree group toggle in CSS.
- Replaces the old "Manage worktrees" button with a more descriptive, styled component in BranchPanel.svelte.
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
Improved handling for deleting remote branches across the application, enhancing both user experience and backend reliability. This includes adding structured logging to all Git remote operations in Rust, refining UI components to handle remote-specific deletion flows, and providing clear status/error feedback in sync settings.
- Standardized styling for action toggles (Stash, Branch, Explorer) using consistent dimensions.
- Implemented detailed console logging for all Git remote operations on the backend.
- Refined dialogs and sync settings to provide explicit status and error messages during remote management.
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.
This update introduces functionality for resizing various panels in the UI, including the left sidebar, branch panel, stash panel, and file history. It also adds state persistence for panel sizes and collapsed states using local storage, improving user experience by maintaining preferences across sessions.
- Implemented resizing functionality for multiple UI panels
- Added local storage support for panel dimensions and collapsed states
- Enhanced accessibility features for panel controls
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
Branch deletion now supports an optional force mode in the Tauri
command, enabling deletion of branches that are not fully merged.
The UI replaces the simple confirm prompt with a dedicated dialog and
auto-escalates to force delete when Git rejects a normal delete.
- Add force flag to delete_branch command and tests
- Implement BranchDeleteConfirmDialog and wire it into App.svelte
- Update branch context menu actions and styling
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
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.
Implement the ability to create new local branches directly from the application's UI. This includes a new backend command to handle branch creation with validation and a frontend form in the branch panel.
Additionally, extend the global search dialog to include a "Files" tab. Users can now search for files by name or path within the repository. Selecting a file in the search results displays its full commit history, with options to diff the file at a specific commit or restore it to that version.
