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

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.
Git LFS
Gitty bundles the git-lfs executable in its desktop installers and checks it
at runtime before offering LFS actions. Arch packages also declare git-lfs as
a dependency so Git hooks and command-line workflows outside Gitty use the same
extension. The repository toolbar exposes LFS setup, tracked patterns, object
downloads, and safe cache pruning. Normal clone, pull, checkout, and push
operations continue to use Git's standard LFS filters and pre-push hook. After
every successful pull, Gitty detects LFS usage and automatically downloads the
required LFS objects with the same remote and credentials, so no second pull is
needed.
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.
