@github-actions github-actions released this 16 Sep 16:32

What's fixed

  • The welcome screen stops asking for Git Bash on macOS and Linux. Git Bash only exists on Windows, but every copy listed it as missing, so "Finish setting up" never went away there. The Git download button also opened the Git for Windows page everywhere; it now opens the page for your system.
  • Cmd+Option shortcuts work on a Mac. Option changes the character a key types, so fetch, pull, push and stage everything (⌥⌘F, ⌥⌘P, ⌥⌘U, ⌥⌘S) never fired. Shortcuts are now matched by the key pressed.

What's changed

  • No Windows-only wording on macOS and Linux. Shortcut hints show ⌘, ⌥ and ⇧ on a Mac. The File Explorer menu section, and the Windows Terminal and PowerShell choices for coding agents, appear only on Windows. The SSH key path example matches your system, the ~/.ssh/config setting names your terminal rather than Git Bash, and browser mode explains why it has no folder picker outside Windows.
  • Documentation for every platform. The README gives checksum, Git install and port commands for macOS and Linux as well as Windows, and the agent CLI guide no longer assumes PowerShell.

Downloads

  • Windows installer (recommended): Multi-Git-Client-Setup-5.0.2.exe
  • Portable Windows executable: Multi-Git-Client-Portable-5.0.2.exe
  • macOS disk image (Apple silicon and Intel): Multi-Git-Client-macOS-5.0.2.dmg
  • Linux AppImage (x86_64, any distribution; needs FUSE 2): Multi-Git-Client-Linux-5.0.2-x86_64.AppImage. It needs FUSE 2, which Ubuntu 22.04 and later do not install by default: run sudo apt install libfuse2t64 first (libfuse2 on 22.04), or use the .deb instead.
  • Linux .deb package (Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint; amd64): Multi-Git-Client-Linux-5.0.2-amd64.deb
  • Linux .rpm package (Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE; x86_64): Multi-Git-Client-Linux-5.0.2-x86_64.rpm
  • SHA-256 checksums: SHA256SUMS.txt

The portable app shares configuration with an installed copy.
