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
Introduce a reusable SelectMenu component and replace native select
controls across the UI. This centralizes select behavior and styling,
enabling grouped options, placeholders, and a consistent popup
interaction. Add comprehensive CSS and light-theme tweaks, and update
rebase action styling to integrate the new control.
- Add a unified SelectMenu component and wire change handlers.
- Implement .select-menu styles, popup behavior, and theme overrides.
- Replace ad-hoc native selects in dialogs and rebase UI for consistency.
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 update enhances the context menu for branches and tags by
ensuring it fits within the viewport, preventing overflow and

the commit history. The new section includes detailed steps, commands,
and notes on how to effectively use Git Notes within the application.
- Added German and English documentation for Git Notes
- Included commands for viewing and managing commit notes
- Explained how to fetch and push Git Notes to remote repositories
This update enhances the publishing workflow by introducing a new
prebuilt AppImage package for Gitty, allowing users to install
the application without needing to compile from source. The
workflow now includes steps to generate and publish the binary
AUR package alongside the standard source package.
- Introduced PKGBUILD-bin for the prebuilt AppImage
- Updated workflow to handle both source and binary package publishing
- Enhanced README to guide users on installing the new package
This update enhances the workflow for interacting with the AUR by
adding robust error handling for SSH key retrieval and repository
cloning/pushing. It implements retry logic with exponential backoff
for both SSH host key retrieval and git operations, improving
resilience against transient network issues.
- Added retries for SSH key retrieval with exponential backoff
- Implemented retry logic for cloning and pushing to AUR repository
- Ensured script exits gracefully with error messages on failure
The handling of the Escape key has been refined to ensure that it
closes the correct dialog based on the current state. Additionally,
the z-index for the compare dialog backdrop has been updated to
ensure proper layering with other dialogs.
- Enhanced Escape key functionality for better user experience
- Updated z-index for compare dialog backdrop to avoid overlap
This update introduces a timeout mechanism for the pacman installation process in the app builder workflow. If the installation does not complete within 30 minutes, it will terminate and log a timeout message, improving the robustness of the build process.
- Adds a timeout for the pacman command to prevent indefinite hangs
- Implements a heartbeat to monitor the installation progress
- Provides clear error messages for timeout and failure scenarios
The workflow for building and publishing to Arch Linux has been updated to
enhance the package installation process. This includes adding multiple
mirror sources to ensure reliability and implementing retry logic for
package installation attempts.

navigate through them more efficiently. The UI has been adjusted to
support loading more commits dynamically, improving the overall user
experience when dealing with large repositories.
- Added pagination support for commit history
- Introduced a loading mechanism for fetching more commits
- Updated UI components to reflect changes in commit loading behavior
The changes are consistent across both German and English sections:
1. **Summary:** Updated to reflect building from source via AUR.
2. **Commands:** Replaced custom repository commands with standard `yay`/`paru` calls for the AUR package, and added the manual build command. The package name is standardized to `gitty-desktop`.
3. **Steps:** Changed the workflow description from managing `/etc/pacman.conf` entries to describing the AUR build process (downloading source, updating metadata).
4. **Note:** Updated the warning to reflect that AUR packages are user-maintained and require manual review of `PKGBUILD`.
No changes are needed; the provided diff is correct.
Updates the PKGBUILD to improve stability and manage memory consumption during the compilation of large Rust dependencies. This involves adding specific environment variables within the build function to constrain compiler resources, alongside refining package options.
- Restrict parallel jobs and set explicit optimization levels for cargo builds
- Disable debug symbols in package options
The CI workflow for building applications has been updated to correctly manage the build environment. Previously, makepkg was run without explicitly defining where its output should go, which could lead to unpredictable file placement or conflicts. This change ensures that a dedicated temporary directory is used as the build output location.
- Explicitly create and use a makepkg directory
- Pass BUILDDIR variable to makepkg command
The workflow script responsible for application building is updated to adjust file ownership. Previously, ownership was restricted only to the source directory. By changing the scope to the entire build root, we ensure that all generated files and intermediate artifacts are correctly owned by the builder user before running makepkg.
The CI/CD pipeline has been significantly refactored to improve efficiency and reduce dependency on Docker containers during the build process. The core logic now uses temporary directories and direct execution commands, streamlining both the packaging of tarballs and the generation of the repository database. This change results in a faster and more robust build environment within the runner.
- Removed reliance on docker run for package building
- Simplified the mechanism for updating the pacman repository database
- Added necessary dependencies to base system installation steps
Added initial setup steps to the GitLite job within the continuous integration workflow. This ensures that the underlying Arch Linux environment is fully updated and contains all necessary system packages (like nodejs, git, and docker) before the main build process begins, improving overall build reliability.
Updated local development settings to include comprehensive Git status checks, improving developer workflow visibility. Additionally, the Arch package building job in the CI pipeline now targets archlinux runners for better environment parity during builds.
- Added multiple bash commands for detailed git logging and status retrieval
- Switched app builder workflow runner to archlinux
This commit updates local configuration settings with additional diagnostic steps to improve visibility into the build environment during execution. Furthermore, the primary application builder workflow has been migrated from running on Arch Linux to Ubuntu 22.04. This change ensures broader compatibility for the CI/CD pipeline while maintaining core publishing functionality.
- Added extensive system and context checks in local settings
- Migrated app builder job runner platform to ubuntu-22.04
The commit enhances Git operation reliability by improving how authentication errors are detected and displayed to the user. It standardizes Git output language across different locales and introduces a mechanism to summarize complex raw Git stderr messages, ensuring users receive clear feedback when cloning or interacting with repositories that fail due to credentials.
- Standardize git command output using LC_ALL=C for consistent English messaging.
- Implement error summarization logic to extract the most relevant message from raw Git stderr.
- Update credential dialogs to display summarized and improved authentication failure details.
This update enhances the build process by ensuring that the package definition file (PKGBUILD) is automatically updated with the current application version and release number. Changes are applied across both local build scripts and CI/CD workflows to maintain consistency. This prevents manual synchronization errors when building releases.
- Updates PKGBUILD version fields using package.json
- Ensures PKGBUILD is staged during final commit in CI/CD
- Improves robustness of the automated build pipeline
This commit updates the package version to 2026.7.19 and modifies
the build scripts to include additional commands for better
development workflow. The main window of the application is also set
to maximize upon launch.
- Updated package version in PKGBUILD
- Added new build commands in settings.local.json
- Maximized the main application window on startup
The main application setup in src-tauri/src/main.rs has been refactored to enhance local variable scoping. By assigning the result of tauri::Builder::default() to a named variable, the code becomes clearer and more readable without changing runtime behavior.
Updates the .gitignore file to ensure that generated package files and local build directories are ignored by Git. This prevents unnecessary binary data from being tracked in the repository history, keeping the project clean.
- Ignore pkg directory
- Ensure exclusion of tarball packages
This introduces the necessary PKGBUILD file to define how Gitty should be built and packaged for system installation. It sets up the build process using npm and Tauri CLI, ensuring all dependencies are met before compiling the application binary. The script also handles installing required assets like icons, desktop entries, and documentation into the package structure.
- Defines build steps using tauri/npm
- Installs binaries, icons, and desktop entry files
- Sets up standard package metadata (pkgname, depends)
This update enhances cross-platform reliability by addressing potential hangs during application startup on Linux environments using WebKitGTK. Additionally, native taskbar badge functionality is improved for macOS and Linux, ensuring accurate display of sync status. Configuration settings are also updated to include more specific internal crate reads and web search capabilities.
- Added timeout fallback to waitForAnimationFrame in Svelte
- Improved set_sync_badge logic for macOS/Linux platforms
- Updated local configuration with detailed dependency reads
The workflow now passes a per-platform NO_STRIP setting into the
Tauri build environment. This allows builds to retain symbols when
needed, improving debugging and crash analysis without changing the
default behavior for other targets.
- Add matrix no_strip values for Windows and Ubuntu
- Export NO_STRIP into the build environment for Tauri
Artifact collection previously grabbed every file under each bundle
directory, which could include unrelated or intermediate outputs. This
updates the logic to only include files with the expected extensions
for each artifact type, improving accuracy and reducing noise.
- Use a per-bundle suffix map to filter collected artifacts
- Switch to non-recursive directory iteration for bundle roots
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
