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
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
Adds a new external tools subsystem to detect and launch
diff and editor tools across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
It exposes data models for tools, commands, and results to the UI
and serializes them for consumption by the app.
- Implement cross-platform discovery of editors and diff tools
- Expose serialized results to the UI for user selection
- Centralize per-OS known tool lists and overrides
This update significantly expands the available Git functionality by adding robust support for initializing repositories, managing remotes, and improving complex workflow operations like merging and reverting commits. New API endpoints are exposed across the backend and frontend to handle remote setup, branch tracking, and conflict resolution workflows.
- Added full remote management capabilities (add, update, remove).
- Implemented advanced merge strategies and commit reversion logic.
- Introduced a dedicated UI component for synchronization settings.
Adds a configurable and persistable auto-refresh setting to the application's settings dialog. This feature allows users to control whether the repository view automatically updates its status, branch information, and remote tracking in the background. The logic is integrated across core components to manage state changes and provide visual feedback to the user.
- Auto-refresh state is now persistent and managed via local storage.
- Updated settings dialog UI to include a dedicated toggle for auto-refresh.
- Removed manual auto-refresh toggling from the repository toolbar component.
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 refactors the entire appearance and structure of the repository toolbar, modernizing its layout and improving visual consistency across different states. The component now dynamically displays remote tracking information (ahead/behind) directly on Pull and Push buttons for immediate user feedback.
- Implemented a comprehensive CSS overhaul using grid and flexbox for better responsiveness.
- Added support for German localization within the toolbar actions.
- Enhanced visibility of sync status by displaying commit counts next to pull/push buttons.
