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

Arch Linux
Install Gitty from the AUR with an AUR helper:
yay -S gitty-desktop
To install the prebuilt native Arch package instead of compiling from source:
yay -S gitty-desktop-bin
Or build the AUR package manually:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gitty-desktop.git
cd gitty-desktop
makepkg -si
The source recipe downloads the public Gitea release archive and builds Gitty.
The -bin recipe repackages the native .pkg.tar.zst release artifact. The
release pipeline updates both packages' versions, checksums, and .SRCINFO
files.
SigNoz telemetry
After the user opts in, Gitty sends privacy-filtered product events and technical errors as OTLP/HTTP JSON logs. Every Git/Tauri command is also captured as a trace span with its command name, duration and success state, but without command arguments or results. CPU utilization and resident memory usage of the Gitty process are sampled every 30 seconds and exported as OpenTelemetry gauges. The default endpoints are https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/logs, https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/traces, and https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/metrics.
The SigNoz reverse proxy must forward all three paths to the Collector's OTLP/HTTP receiver (normally port 4318). For development or a separate collector hostname, set GITTY_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT, GITTY_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT, and GITTY_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT to the full signal URLs before starting Gitty.
Telemetry is non-blocking, bounded, disabled until consent is stored, and never includes repository paths, remote URLs, branch names, commit messages, diffs, file names, credentials, source code, URLs, or email addresses.
