during the installation and uninstallation of the application. The hooks
ensure that the desktop and start menu shortcuts are removed properly,
along with the associated program directory.
- Implement post-install and post-uninstall hooks in NSIS
- Update configuration to reference the new hooks file
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 update improves the splashscreen management during application startup. The splashscreen will now remain visible for a minimum duration and will only close after the main application is ready, ensuring a smoother user experience.
- Introduced a new startup sequence to manage background tasks.
- Added error handling for splashscreen closure to maintain functionality.
- Optimized the timing for displaying and hiding the splashscreen.
This update introduces a complete set of high-resolution icons for all target platforms. This ensures consistent branding and visual identity across desktop, Android, and iOS environments. The tauri configuration file has been updated to utilize these new assets.
- Added full sets of Android mipmap density icons

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.
The UI adds a BlameDialog that groups lines by commit, highlights
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
Update the project and Tauri configuration version to 2026.7.14.
This keeps the package metadata and desktop app build in sync for
consistent release tracking.
- Bump version in package.json
- Bump version in tauri.conf.json
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
The CI workflow now installs the required Rust toolchain and uv on
Ubuntu, and passes a no-strip flag into the Tauri build to control
binary stripping behavior per platform. The CI helper script was
updated to collect only expected bundle and signature files, reducing
noise and improving upload correctness. Versioning was aligned across
the Node package and Tauri config for the new release.
- Add platform-specific no_strip handling in the build workflow
- Install Rust toolchain/uv for Ubuntu builds
- Filter collected artifacts by expected extensions and signatures
Git operations that stage or restore many files could exceed the Windows
command line length limit, causing os error 206 failures. This change
splits file paths into size-bounded chunks and concatenates the output
from multiple git invocations to keep commands within safe limits.
- Chunk file path arguments for Windows compatibility
- Add a local dev command to list pkg-config packages
The CI workflow now builds a single bundle per run, adds Linux
AppImage output, and updates the Tauri version using a Node script.
The publishing tool is extended to recognize Linux artifacts,
select a primary artifact based on the target platform, and merge
platform entries into an existing latest.json when present.
- Limit matrix parallelism and pass bundle targets to Tauri
- Update updater platform handling and latest.json merging
- Add Linux Tauri config for AppImage bundling
Cloning now accepts optional username/password and passes them to the
Rust git layer via GIT_ASKPASS, avoiding interactive prompts. The UI
detects authentication failures, opens the credential dialog for clone,
and auto-hides error messages to keep the flow smooth.
- Add username/password support to clone_repository and git.ts
- Detect auth failures and route users to the clone credential dialog
- Improve clone UX with a dedicated loading overlay and timed errors
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 fetch command has been updated to run asynchronously, allowing for
better performance and responsiveness in the application. This change
ensures that the command does not block the main thread, enhancing the
user experience when interacting with repositories.
- Fetch command now uses async/await for non-blocking execution
- Added a grace period to prevent immediate background fetch after
switching repositories
- Improved handling of authentication errors during fetch operations
The Windows overlay badge now renders a single combined number and
includes an additional “changes” component in the total. This makes
the badge more informative while keeping the icon compact and
legible across small sizes.
- Simplify badge rendering to one circle with centered text
- Extend the Tauri command and frontend call to pass changes count
The badge icon rendering was tweaked by slightly reducing the
radius and scale constants. This helps align the icon proportions
and spacing for a cleaner visual result.
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
This change introduces a Windows-only taskbar badge that displays the
ahead+behind count as a rendered overlay icon. The UI now updates
the badge whenever the repository sync status changes, and the git
diff commands are adjusted to avoid external diff/text conversion noise.
- Add badge rendering and Tauri command for setting overlay icon
- Wire badge updates into the Svelte app based on git status
- Update git diff invocations to disable ext-diff/textconv
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
