Christoph be695d78a9 feat(publishing): add support for prebuilt AppImage package
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

Arch Linux

Install Gitty from the AUR with an AUR helper:

yay -S gitty-desktop

To install the prebuilt AppImage 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 installs the prebuilt AppImage. 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.
