This commit implements a comprehensive visual refresh by updating the core color scheme across the application. A new, cohesive dark mode aesthetic has been applied, shifting primary accents from purple/orange tones to cooler blue/cyan gradients. This ensures better consistency and modernizes the look of various components, including buttons and loading indicators.
- Updated global CSS variables for consistent theming
- Refreshed component styles with the new color palette
- Adjusted repository loading overlay visuals
Adds comprehensive theme management across the application, allowing users to save their preferred color scheme (light/dark) or automatically follow the operating system's settings. This required updating state management in App.svelte to handle theme loading and applying changes dynamically via CSS variables.
The styling layer was significantly updated with new CSS variables and rules for both dark and light modes, ensuring visual consistency across all components like dialogs, buttons, and sidebars.
- Added logic to detect system color scheme preference
- Implemented full support for persistent light/dark mode switching
- Overhauled global CSS variables for improved theme adaptability
The file discarding mechanism has been significantly refactored to improve handling of multi-file operations. Instead of processing discards on a per-file basis, the system now supports batch actions for selected files or reverting all tracked modifications simultaneously. This update centralizes complex discard logic into dedicated functions across the component suite.
- Updated state management and types to handle arrays of file changes.
- Added UI elements and handlers for discarding all staged/unstaged changes.
- Enhanced the confirmation dialog to display multiple discarded targets in a list view.
This update improves the file staging and un-staging process by allowing
multiple files to be selected and acted upon simultaneously. The user
interface has been enhanced to provide clear feedback on the number of
selected files and their respective statuses.
- Added support for staging and un-staging multiple files at once
- Introduced visual indicators for selected files in the UI
- Improved event handling for file selection and actions
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 introduces a context menu for repository tabs, allowing users
to easily close individual tabs, close all other tabs, or close tabs to the
right. Additionally, several visual elements related to loading animations
have been removed to streamline the user interface.
- Implement context menu actions for repository tab management
- Remove unnecessary loading animations from the splash screen and overlays
- Enhance user experience with improved tab management functionality

- 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 improves the loading animation for the File History Panel,
making it more visually appealing and responsive. The CSS has been
refactored to introduce new styles and animations, while the Svelte
component has been updated to utilize these changes effectively.
- Added new loading animations and styles for better user experience
- Refactored CSS to improve maintainability and visual design

This update introduces a favorites system for repositories, allowing users
to mark certain repositories as favorites for easier access. The UI has been
modified to include a star icon for toggling favorites, and the layout has
been adjusted to display favorite repositories separately.
- Implemented favorite repository management with local storage
- Updated UI to show favorite repositories with a star icon
- Enhanced repository listing to filter and display favorites
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
This change introduces a new backend command to fetch file blame using
git's line-porcelain output and returns structured per-line metadata.

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
- Add blame UI component and supporting types and styles
Repo status updates for the management view are now refreshed in the
background after switching, without blocking the initial open flow.
The history graph and hover labels now distinguish local vs upstream
branches, visually marking commits that are ahead or behind.
- Add background fetch helper and shared status update logic
- Pass active upstream into HistoryPanel and render sync styling
Adjust the repo ahead/behind meta colors and add subtle background
highlights for better visual distinction. Also introduce dedicated
CSS for the commit amend toggle input, including checked, focus, and
disabled states to improve usability and accessibility.
- Refine ahead/behind meta color and background emphasis
- Add complete styling for commit amend toggle states
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
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
Hover behavior for graph branch highlights was adjusted to limit the
opacity/transform changes to the gutter hover state. This prevents the
highlight from triggering when hovering over the graph rows, reducing
unintended visual effects.
The commit history UI now provides a compact actions menu per commit,
with positioning constrained to the history panel. The menu supports
keyboard dismissal via Escape and closes on outside clicks to keep the
interaction predictable.
- Replace per-commit action buttons with an ellipsis menu
- Add context menu state and panel-relative positioning logic
- Style the new history context menu and menu button
This introduces a new Tauri command to clone a remote repository into a
validated destination folder, then return the full repository bundle for
immediate rendering. The Svelte app gains a clone dialog and a new action
in repository management, wiring the cloned bundle into existing refresh
helpers. Dialog backdrops were also adjusted to rely on explicit close
controls.
- Add clone_repository command and core cloning logic in Rust
- Create CloneRepositoryDialog and integrate it into App.svelte
- Improve clone-related styling and tighten dialog backdrop behavior
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
This change introduces Git stash support end-to-end, including a new
backend command to list stashes and operations to push, apply, pop, and
drop them. The frontend now fetches stashes as part of the repository
bundle and provides a dedicated panel to manage shelved changes.
- Add GitStash model and Tauri commands for stash operations
- Implement StashPanel component and wire it into the app
- Adjust sidebar layout and add stash-specific styling
The commit history panel is now resizable with a draggable handle and
keyboard support. The chosen width is persisted in local storage so the
layout stays consistent across sessions. Git commit loading was also
adjusted to include all branch tips for a more complete graph.
- Add width persistence and pointer/keyboard resizing for history panel
- Update commit graph query to use topo-order across all refs
- Extend tests to ensure branch tips are included in commit results
The commit history panel now renders a more structured commit header,
including an avatar, kind badge, and clearer metadata layout. The git
graph visuals were also refined with smoother paths and improved hover
effects to make the history easier to scan.
- Add commit kind/root/merge badges and author initials
- Improve graph rendering with curved paths and hover emphasis
- Update CSS for commit cards, ref chips, and graph styling
Local AI is now treated as unavailable in the settings UI, with a
migration to ensure any previously saved "local" selection switches
back to OpenAI. The history panel also improves how commit file
names are presented, including clearer old->new path formatting.
- Migrate stored AI provider away from local to prevent dead state
- Disable local provider option with an "in development" badge
- Refine history panel filename rendering and tooltip context

- **src-tauri/crates/commit_ai/src/cloud.rs**:
- Introduced `looks_like_diff_echo` function to detect if the model's output is a diff instead of a commit message.
- Updated `openai_compatible_request` and `generate_anthropic` to utilize the new function for error handling.
- **src-tauri/crates/commit_ai/src/lib.rs**:
- Added `LocalGenerationProfile` enum for managing different generation profiles.
- Implemented caching for generated messages to avoid redundant processing.
- Updated `generate_commit_message` to incorporate caching logic.
- **src-tauri/src/git.rs**:
- Added `staged_diff_local` function to handle local profile generation and exclude specific lock files from the diff.
- Modified `commit_ai_generate` to accept and process the local generation profile.
- **src/App.svelte**:
- Added `lastLocalAiGeneratedMessage` state to track the last generated message and prevent unnecessary updates.
- **.claude/settings.local.json**:
- Updated settings to include additional commands for better functionality.

Introduces a new "Repository Management" view for browsing open and recent repositories. Adds a tabbed interface for quickly switching between multiple active repositories, with persistent state. Also includes a new command to open the current repository in the native file explorer.
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.
Consolidate multiple Git backend calls into a single bundle to reduce
overhead when opening and auto-refreshing repositories. This significantly
improves performance by fetching status, branches, commits, and files
in one optimized operation, instead of re-running 'git rev-parse' and
'git status' multiple times.
Also, streamline commit history loading by fetching file changes inline
via 'git log --name-status -z', eliminating expensive per-commit
'git diff-tree' processes.
Additionally, introduce the ability to create new branches from a
specific commit in the history and refactor the commit comparison
feature into a dedicated dialog. The status panel now displays concise
file names.
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.
Users can now open a diff for a specific search hit directly from the global search results. The original search query will be highlighted within the diff view, making it easier to locate the relevant changes.
Additionally, add `--no-textconv` to git commands used in search and diff operations. This prevents failures when git encounters binary files that textconv drivers might otherwise attempt to process.
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.
