Introduce richer confirmation dialogs and wire them through the UI so actions
can collect an optional single-line input and a checkbox option.
- ConfirmDialog: support optional input and checkbox (with defaultChecked),
expose onConfirm(result: {checked, value}). Focus/selects input when present
and blocks confirm while required inputs/checkboxes are missing.
- App: add askConfirmation(...) returning {confirmed, value, checked} and keep
requestConfirmation(...) as a convenience boolean wrapper. Update answer flow
to pass the full result. Use the new prompt in stashStatusFiles to collect a
stash message and "include untracked" option before saving.
- Status/Explorer/Worktree: add multi-selection support for stop-tracking and
stash operations. onStopTracking now accepts an array of paths and a new
"selection" kind; status context menu shows selection counts and uses a
CopyCheck icon for selections. Added corresponding i18n messages.
This change keeps existing UX but enables collecting extra confirmation data
and acting on multi-file selections.
Replace per-panel height constants, state, loaders and resize handlers with a single
model for all left sidebar panels. Panel sizes are now stored/read as a JSON
object under "gitlite.sidebarPanelHeights.v2" and managed via shared helpers.
Key changes and behavior:
- Introduce SIDEBAR_PANEL_ORDER, per-panel MIN/DEFAULT heights and a shared MAX/STEP.
- Single in-memory map sidebarPanelHeights with clamp/load/persist helpers.
- One pointer/keyboard resize flow: startSidebarPanelResize, onSidebarPanelResizeMove,
endSidebarPanelResize and onSidebarPanelResizeKeydown. Dragging moves the border
between the panel above (grows) and the next expanded panel below (shrinks).
The last expanded panel is flexible (1fr) and follows automatically.
- Double-click on a handle resets the above/below panels to their defaults.
- buildLeftSidebarRows now derives grid rows from the unified state; template uses
new handlers and aria attributes.
- LocalStorage remains best-effort; persistence failures are ignored as before.
Removes many duplicate functions/variables for individual panels and simplifies
the UI logic for showing/hiding resize handles and resizing behavior.
Introduce a generic ConfirmDialog and a promise-based requestConfirmation API in
App.svelte so callers can await user responses instead of using window.confirm.
Provide helper builders (branchDeleteConfirmRequest, discardConfirmRequest) to
create dialog content for common cases. Many call sites were switched to use
requestConfirmation and now render the in-app ConfirmDialog; the previous
specialized confirm components (BranchDeleteConfirmDialog, DiscardConfirmDialog)
were removed.
Add lightweight i18n support (setLanguage, t()) and new messages/i18n modules,
and replace hardcoded English strings in several components (e.g. AiSettingsPage,
BlameDialog and many confirmation prompts) with translated keys.
Summary of effects:
- Replaces native window.confirm with awaitable in-app ConfirmDialog dialogs.
- Centralizes confirmation UI and content construction in App.svelte.
- Adds i18n plumbing and updates UI text to use t().
- Removes two specialized confirm dialog components and adds src/lib/components/ConfirmDialog.svelte.
Add credential-aware submodule operations and a command to checkout a specific
tag or commit in a submodule without staging the parent repository.
- Backend (src-tauri):
- Export checkout_submodule_revision and implement checkout_revision which
validates tag vs commit inputs, verifies refs locally, and checks out the
submodule in detached mode without modifying the parent's index.
- Add optional username/password parameters to add_submodule and submodule_action
flows. Implement submodule_git to call run_git_authenticated when credentials
are supplied and classify auth failures by prefixing errors with "AUTH_FAILED:".
- Wire authenticated variants (operate_authenticated, add_authenticated) and
update fetch/update actions to use credentials where needed.
- Add unit tests covering authenticated submodule commands, auth failure
classification, and checkout-by-tag/commit behavior.
- Frontend:
- App.svelte: introduce credential prompt flow (withSubmoduleCredentials,
submit/cancel handlers), surface credential dialog on auth failures, and
wire credentialed calls for initialize/add/update/fetch operations. Hook up
checkoutSubmoduleRevision and listTags to the submodule dialog.
- SubmoduleDialog.svelte: add UI for selecting destination folder, loading
tags and checking out revisions; expose fetch action.
- CredentialDialog.svelte: include "submodule" action and adjust labels.
- Docs:
- README: document "Change commit or tag" and "Fetch tags & commits" behaviors.
The commit focuses only on enabling credentialed submodule interactions and
safe local checkouts of tags/commits; no other git behavior changes are made.
Add two new sidebar components (WorktreePanel, TagsPanel) and integrate them
into the compact left navigation layout:
- Wire up imports and rendering in App.svelte, including collapse toggles and
resize handles for both panels. Persisted heights (localStorage) and keyboard
resizing are supported; heights are clamped between 80 and 420px with a 140px
default.
- Extend buildLeftSidebarRows and left-sidebar grid/template styles to include
the new panels and reduce panel-handle thickness. Add extensive CSS for the
compact accordion navigation, worktree and tags lists.
- Move tag and worktree management UI out of BranchPanel (remove tag props),
and add dedicated handlers in App.svelte for the new panels.
- Refactor worktree loading: introduce a worktreeLoadId to guard async
refreshWorktrees() calls and avoid race conditions. refreshWorktrees(path?)
now takes an optional path and updates worktree state only when the request
is still relevant.
- Small behavioral tweaks: stash panel default collapsed state changed to true
and the explorer resize-handle visibility condition adjusted.
This commit only adds the UI/UX integration and local persistence for the new
panels and their resizing/refresh behavior.
Add a new backend module to manage Git submodules (list, initialize/update,
stage, sync, add) and expose Tauri commands (list_submodules,
submodule_action, add_submodule). The implementation enforces safe relative
paths, a maximum nesting depth, and guards (dirty/conflicted checks and
initialization/no-op semantics) to avoid unsafe operations.
Refactor clone logic to a testable run_git_clone_command and enable
automatic initialization of submodules during clone by passing
--recurse-submodules. Also disallow certain submodule-related custom clone
flags so callers cannot override this behaviour.
Update README with a Submodules section and add frontend components and types
to surface submodule UI (dialogs, toolbar badge). Unit tests were added for
submodule discovery, initialization/update semantics, and recursive clone
behavior.
When switching workspaces, skip calling openRepo if the current activeView
is "management". Previously a session.activePath would be opened even
when the user was on the Management/dashboard view, causing an unwanted
navigate-away. Now a keepDashboard flag prevents openRepo from running
in that case, preserving the dashboard state.
Add pull request draft generation to the commit_ai crate and expose it
via a new Tauri command. The backend builds a branch-range context from
published remote-tracking refs only, calls the chosen AI provider, and
parses a JSON {"title","description"} draft (with validation). Also
register the command in the app and add unit tests for parsing and the
branch-context behavior.
Consolidate AI settings in the frontend by renaming the dialog to an
AiSettingsPage and integrating AI options into the main AppSettings
dialog. Persisted AI preferences are merged with existing localStorage
rather than replacing it, and the settings UI now supports opening the
app settings to a specific initial page ("integrations" or "ai").
Other changes:
- Replace the commit-message system prompt used by build_messages with
the updated, more detailed guidance text.
Introduce an iterative visibleParentResolver for commit-graph rendering,
replacing a recursive traversal. It preserves first-parent ordering,
deduplicates converging paths, and avoids stack overflows; a test suite
validates correctness and performance. Additionally, streamline background
fetch handling in the UI to reuse fetchRemote's returned status and avoid
unnecessary status reads and tab invalidation, and refactor Git status
handling in Rust to build a file_status_index that preserves rename and
first-match semantics while speeding lookups.
- Add visibleParentResolver + comprehensive tests for ancestry handling
- Reuse fetchRemote result to apply status and skip unchanged updates
- Replace status_for_file with file_status_index to improve performance
Introduce workspace support to group repositories and store per-workspace
open tabs and the last active repository. Integrate a workspace picker into
the repository tab bar and add workspace controls to the dashboard to
create, edit, switch and delete workspaces. Persist and migrate workspace
preferences robustly and include tests for migration, corruption and edge
cases.
- Persist per-workspace sessions and active repo to localStorage
- Add workspace picker in tabs and dashboard management hooks
- Include migration/validation logic and unit tests for edge cases
Add pointer-driven drag-and-drop reordering for repository tabs. A
drag state tracks source and target, supports auto-scrolling, and shows
a live animated preview while dragging; accidental clicks are suppressed.
Reorders commit on pointerup and can be cancelled via Escape, blur, or
pointercancel, and reordering is disabled while the app is busy. The
new order is persisted through a callback to the main app.
- Implement pointer handlers, drag lifecycle, and click suppression
- Add transform-based preview, transitional styling, and reduced-motion support
- Wire reorder callback to persist the updated tab order
Change undo-last-commit behavior to perform a soft reset instead of a
mixed reset. This preserves the index and working tree so the undone
commit's changes remain staged and ready to recommit. The confirmation
dialog text was updated to accurately reflect the new behavior.
- Perform git reset --soft HEAD~1 to move HEAD while preserving index
- Update UI confirmation copy to state that changes remain staged and
files are preserved
Replace the legacy repository tab bar with a compact workspace
navigation that groups primary views and exposes a dedicated
"Repositories" action. The repository list is shown only when the
repository view is active and supports per-repo selection and closing.
Also add a Repositories open handler in the app to select the active
repo or prompt to choose a repository folder when none is available.
- Introduce top-level navigation (Dashboard, PRs, Issues, Repositories)
- Add onOpenRepositories hook and app logic to select or choose repo
- Update icons, styles, and accessibility attributes for the nav
Add a backend command to enumerate a repository's branches and default
branch for configured integrations, and expose it to the UI. The create
review dialog now fetches branches, shows loading and error states, and
uses searchable SelectMenu controls for repositories and branches. If a
local repository path is available the dialog will try to match remotes
and preselect a local branch that exists on the remote to streamline
review creation.
- Add integration branch listing command and wire it into the dialog
- Replace plain selects with searchable SelectMenu and improved UX
- Attempt to detect and suggest a matching local source branch when possible
Add backend integration modules to discover, read, and modify
provider-hosted boards, issues, and comments across multiple providers.
Expose Tauri commands for board discovery, listing, and card moves,
and implement safe issue actions and comment APIs.
Wire new Svelte UI components to render boards, issue centers,
comments, labels, and assignees, and add sanitized markdown rendering.
- Add board discovery, board reading, and card-move APIs
- Add Svelte components and styles for integrated board UI
- Use marked + DOMPurify for safe markdown rendering
Move pull-request discovery and caching into a dedicated background
loader component. The repository dashboard no longer performs the
network/keychain work itself and instead receives a shared badge state
that is refreshed and persisted independently. The app wires the loader
into top-level state and binds badge data into the dashboard view.
- Add a background loader to fetch, group and cache open PR counts.
- Simplify dashboard to accept and render pull-request badge state.
- Wire loader into app-level state and bind badges to the dashboard.
Revamp the line patch dialog to improve usability and clarity.
Improve accessibility and German/English localization for UI text.
Add toolbar, hunk navigation, per-line checkbox selection and footer.
Extract merge-in-progress UI into a reusable merge progress notice.
- Replace selection UI with checkboxes, range selection, and counts
- Add hunk navigation, active-hunk tracking, and scroll synchronization
- Extract merge-in-progress UI into a reusable notice component
Coordinate local conflict resolutions with automated push and provider-
side merge status checks. When a local resolution completes the app
advances the merge workflow, pushes the updated branch, and attempts to
continue the merge. The UI shows a checking state and disables relevant
actions while the provider rechecks to prevent duplicate operations.
This streamlines finishing conflict resolution and keeps PR status in
sync with remote providers.
- Automatically push and continue merge when local resolutions finish
- Poll provider for updated mergeability and refresh request details
- Add guards to disable UI actions while waiting for remote status
Add a local conflict resolution workflow that allows resolving PR
merge conflicts from the review center. The change implements host and
repository matching, prepares and merges branches locally, opens the
resolve editor, and tracks a multi-phase state machine to continue,
abort, or push the resolved branch back to the remote.
- Core resolution logic to locate matching repos, prepare merges,
and manage phases (preparing → conflicts → ready-to-push → complete).
- UI wiring and callbacks to start, reopen, continue, abort, and push
local resolutions from the review center.
- Helpers to open the conflict editor, monitor merge state, and mark
completion after a successful push.
Add pull request badges to the repository dashboard and enable deep-
linking to the Review Center with a repository and source pre-filter.
Badges are populated by resolving remotes, matching them to configured
integration sources, and querying providers for open PRs while handling
loading, error, and unavailable states. The dashboard badge opens the
Review Center pre-filled and the app stores initial query/source values
to support the deep-link.
- Resolve and normalize remotes to match integration sources reliably.
- Query provider APIs using stored credentials with sensible timeouts.
- Expose a badge action that navigates to the Review Center pre-filtered.
Add a cross-provider Review Center and improve credential handling.
Backend integrations fetch and normalize PRs from GitHub, GitLab,
Gitea, and Azure DevOps with improved timeouts and parsing. Credentials
now use a global lock and support secret-tool on Linux to avoid races.
- Normalize review data across providers (GitHub/GitLab/Gitea/Azure)
- Serialize credential access with OnceLock and use secret-tool on Linux
- Add frontend ReviewCenter component and related UI updates
Add interactive Git bisect support to the Tauri backend and UI.
Introduce BisectState and BisectCommit types for structured state.
Expose Tauri commands to query, start, mark, and reset sessions.
Add parsers, unit tests, and a Bisect dialog with toolbar and App wiring.
- Backend: new Tauri commands, state types, and helpers to parse bisect.
- Frontend: Bisect dialog, toolbar entry, and App integration to control flow.
Move the inline repository management UI into a new RepositoryDashboard component
and wire it into the application. Refactor app state to compute a reactive
dashboardRepos list and update tab-closing logic so tabs can be closed while
preserving the management view when appropriate.
- Add a full dashboard with search, categories, workspaces and persisted prefs.
- Refactor close behavior to support keeping the management view open.
- Improve UI/CSS and accessibility for the management tab (compact layout and label).
Introduce a modal dialog to configure and confirm branch merges. It
replaces the old prompt-based workflow and lets users choose a merge
strategy with localized labels. Confirming the dialog runs the merge,
refreshes views, and clears the pending merge target.
- Add a merge dialog UI with strategy options and keyboard support.
- Replace prompt-based merge flow with a state-driven confirm dialog.
- Include CSS for dialog layout, responsive sizing, and styling.
Add a modal dialog to initialize a new Git repository, replacing the
previous prompt-based flow. It integrates with the app state and invokes
the initialization operation then opens the repository on confirmation.
Also adds styles, keyboard handling, accessibility hints, a folder
browser, initial-branch input, and German/English labels with busy state.
- New dialog component with folder picker, branch input, and i18n.
- Wire dialog open/close and confirm handler to init and open actions.
- Add CSS rules for dialog layout, controls, and error/busy states.
Add advanced clone options support across the frontend and backend.
Users can specify a branch, shallow limits, blobless mode, sparse paths,
and custom clone flags when initiating a clone operation. The backend
validates inputs, parses custom flags without invoking a shell, and
configures sparse checkouts after a successful clone. A small parsing
dependency was added and tracked-file parsing was improved to better
handle git ls-files output.
- Introduce CloneRunOptions and validation helpers for clone inputs
- Parse custom flags with a shell-like tokenizer and block managed flags
- Support sparse checkout configuration and shallow clone constraints
Allow pulling repositories with unrelated commit histories when the user
explicitly opts in. The pull argument construction was refactored and
branch resolution made more robust so the backend can include the
--allow-unrelated-histories flag when requested.
- Extract pull argument logic and add support for allowing unrelated histories.
- Prompt users in the UI to confirm merging separate histories and retry pull.
- Restyle and improve the update toast UI for better layout and responsiveness.
Remove local on-device model support and related IPC commands,
consolidating commit-generation to cloud providers and simplifying the
AI crate surface. Local-specific types, generation profiles, caching,
and the local prompt builder were removed while message sanitization and
diff-echo detection were preserved. Also harden repository handling and
runtime: unborn HEADs are handled gracefully so empty repos still report
files, Git LFS sync is skipped for repositories without commits, and
tokio runtime features were enabled.
- Remove local model engine, load/status commands, and local profile code
- Handle unborn HEAD and skip LFS sync for repos without commits
- Enable tokio runtime features and route AI generation to cloud only
Add GitHub repository support to integrations and update related tests.
Implement server-side GitHub API calls and normalize GitHub base URLs.
Improve the repository browser UI with compact tabs and updated icons.
Add a custom, accessible scrollbar with pointer and keyboard support.
- Add paging, auth headers, and error handling when listing GitHub repos.
- Default GitHub token username to "x-access-token" when saving credentials.
- Introduce compact repo tab styles, new icons, and a draggable scrollbar.
Add support for integrating with external Git hosts (GitLab, Gitea,
and Azure DevOps). The backend gains a client to fetch paginated
repository lists, normalise base URLs, and surface provider errors.
Credentials are loaded from the OS keychain and a Tauri command is
exposed for the frontend to list integration repositories.
- Implement integration client with pagination, deserialization,
and provider-specific handling.
- Centralise keychain credential loading and expose listing command.
- Update UI to manage integration metadata, persist settings, and
save/remove tokens to the OS keychain for cloning and operations.
Add CSS custom properties for dialog backdrop, shadows, and panel
highlights to centralize visual theming. Refactor the status panel
overlay to consume these tokens and use color-mix instead of hardcoded
rgba values. This improves visual consistency and lets overlays adapt
cleanly to appearance changes and theme variants.
- Centralize dialog and panel visuals with new CSS variables
- Replace fixed rgba values with tokenized colors and color-mix
- Move borders, shadows, and gradients to use the new theme tokens
Introduce an appearance preference with modern, classic, and custom
modes and a persisted custom theme palette. Add helpers to load,
persist, and apply appearance and custom colors, and wire them into the
app settings lifecycle. Implement a comprehensive light theme and
appearance presets using CSS variables so custom palettes are applied
consistently across the UI, and include appearance in analytics when
settings are saved.
- Persist and apply appearance and custom color palette to :root
- Add muted light theme plus classic/modern presets and custom mapping
- Include appearance and customTheme in settings save and analytics payload
The change adds a safer LFS activation flow that ensures a
root .gitattributes file is not hidden by ignore rules and
activates local LFS filters. It also merges patterns from the
repository attributes with those reported by Git LFS to avoid
duplicates and inaccuracies.
- Adds a retry path for large LFS uploads by forcing HTTP/1.1
during pushes when an HTTP 413 error is returned.
Adds startup clone support with a new clone request type and parsing.
It wires a CLI and IPC pathway to forward a clone to a running app.
UI and docs were updated to reflect startup clone behavior.
- Introduce StartupCloneRequest and argument parsing.
- Wire IPC to pass clone requests and clone on startup.
- UI updated to queue clone requests and trigger clone.
The changes introduce server-side commands to manage gitignore
rules and to untrack paths without deleting local files.
A new GitIgnoreKind enum and helper functions normalize targets
and build proper ignore patterns, and UI code was wired to use
these commands.
- add_to_gitignore command and related helpers
- untrack_paths command to remove paths from the index
- UI wiring to expose ignore and untrack actions in explorer
The stash push feature now supports limiting the stash to
selected files via an optional paths parameter.
The UI passes file paths to stash_push and adds a
per-file context menu for scoped stash operations.
- Extend stash API to accept optional paths for scoped stashes
- Implement per-file stash actions via a status panel context menu
- Update tests and docs to reflect scoped stash behavior
Adds Git LFS support to the backend API and related UI.
The app now exposes commands to inspect, install, track and pull.
A sidecar git-lfs binary is bundled and a prep script is added.
This prepares the correct binary for each target platform.
- Expose Git LFS status and management commands in API
- Bundle and prepare a sidecar git-lfs binary for targets
- Update packaging, docs, and README with LFS notes
The app now supports opening a repository at startup by
reading a --repo argument and passing the path to the UI.
A new startup repository state is managed in the backend and
exposed via a tauri command and event, enabling the frontend
to auto-open the repository when ready. The UI adds a small
startup flow with retry handling to ensure the path is
consumed once available.
- Reads --repo or --repo=PATH and resolves relative paths
- Signals UI to open startup repo via open-startup-repository
- Frontend retries opening the repo until it succeeds
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.
Pass the application language into compare dialogs and add German
translations so titles, buttons and helper text render appropriately.
Refactor dialog markup to introduce a compact header with a GitCompare
icon, show changed-file counts, and surface contextual help and warnings.
Adjust and extend CSS for spacing, layout and responsive behavior.
- Pass app language into compare components and derive isGerman flag
- Replace icons and restructure headers; add counts, help and warnings
- Update styles for sizing, spacing, responsive rules and new classes
Allow remote branch renames to be performed with optional credentials so
operations against protected remotes succeed when authentication is needed.
The backend accepts username/password and uses an authenticated push path
when provided, while the frontend prompts for and reuses stored credentials.
- Add optional username/password to rename RPC and use authenticated push
- Wire UI to queue rename, open credential dialog, and execute rename
- Extend credential dialog and handling to include the rename action
This change adds a background path for fetching commit notes per repo
and a shared cache to avoid duplicate work. When notes are fetched
and the active repo is visible, history is refreshed to reflect
notes without blocking user actions.
- Adds per-path backgroundCommitNotesFetches cache to debounce fetches
- Integrates note fetch into the background tick and refresh flow
- Handles credential errors and shutdown gracefully during fetches
This change adds Git notes support to the history UI.
Commits now carry a has_note flag which triggers a note indicator.
Notes can be previewed on hover and loaded on demand,
then the history can be refreshed after edits.
- Adds has_note support on commits and parses from logs.
- Renders a note indicator in history rows with a hover preview.
- Triggers history refresh after note-related actions.
Introduces a credential mode for stored credentials and wire it to
per-remote URL resolution and operation flows. The UI, storage, and
remote interactions now track and persist the mode, enabling token
based auth alongside username/password credentials.
- Remote URL resolution now considers direction (pull/push) and mode
- Credential dialog, saving, and keychain handling updated to pass and
respect the mode
- Unique askpass scripts generated per invocation to avoid clashes
The credential expiry feature has been removed from both the Rust
backend and the frontend. Stored credentials now include only
username and password.
- Remove expiresAt field from StoredCredential
- Simplify API by removing expiry param from credSave
- Drop expiry UI and expiry checks across the app
This release adds upstream tracking for branches and a local-only
indicator in the UI.
The Git integration now exposes upstreams and supports publish flows.
This enables publishing and remote-tracking configuration.
- Introduces upstream tracking and local-only branch UI markers
- Updates toolbar to reflect publish-local state and status indicators
- Bumps version to 2026.8.3 and updates changelog
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
