This commit introduces a comprehensive overhaul of the application's UI, focusing on modernizing the global workspace status bar and improving overall theming consistency. Several components were refactored to simplify prop handling and improve separation of concerns, particularly within the TitleBar and RepoToolbar. The CSS includes extensive new variables and styles for better visual fidelity across light and dark themes.
- Overhauled the main application footer to display version, branch status, and sync metrics.
- Added global CSS variables and component styling for a modern look.
- Simplified repository state management by removing redundant props from TitleBar.
This update introduces comprehensive language support (English/German) across the application, enabling localization for UI elements and settings dialogs. It also adds a dedicated Help Overlay component with detailed guides on using Gitty's core Git features.
- Adds language selection to App Settings
- Implements German translations in key areas
- Introduces global help documentation accessible via Ctrl+/
This update significantly expands Git functionality by implementing support for advanced workflows, including interactive rebasing and recovering lost commits via the reflog. New logic handles preparing the necessary environment files (todo lists and reword queues) required by Git's internal editors. 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
The structure of the application title bar has been updated to utilize modern CSS layout techniques like Grid and Flexbox. This refactoring improves the responsiveness and organization of key elements such as repository name, branch indicator, and synchronization status. The changes ensure better alignment and handling of varying content lengths across different viewports.
- Restructures repo/branch info into a dedicated context container
- Uses flex properties for dynamic sizing of title bar sections
- Groups sync indicators into a cohesive unit
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 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 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
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 updates the Windows taskbar overlay badge to show ahead and
behind separately with distinct colors, and clears it when both are
zero. It also adds a new authenticated fetch command wired through
the Tauri backend and UI, including a silent background fetch to keep
ahead/behind (and the badge) accurate without user interaction.
- Add Windows dual badge rendering for ahead/behind
- Implement Tauri fetch command with auth error handling
- Add UI fetch action plus periodic background fetch updates
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.
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.
