v0.20.0 Released — GitHub Secrets & Variables, Python Interpreter Resolution, Reliability Fixes

[Dave-London]

v0.20.0 is live on npm!

All 30 packages have been published. This release adds first-class GitHub Actions secrets & variables management, smart Python interpreter resolution, and a broad set of reliability fixes — several caught while dogfooding Pare on its own repo.

---

GitHub: Secrets & Variables Management

pare-github now manages GitHub Actions secrets and variables as first-class tools (#901, closes #883) — no more dropping to raw gh for credential setup:

• secret-set, secret-list, secret-delete
• variable-set, variable-list, variable-delete
• repo, org, and environment scopes; org visibility + selected-repository support
• secret values are sent via stdin and masked from all structured output (only names + timestamps are returned)

---

Python: Smart Interpreter Resolution

Python-backed tools (pytest, ruff, black, mypy, …) now resolve the right interpreter automatically (#899, documented in #902):

• detects a project virtualenv
• falls back to python3 when python is missing
• falls back to python -m <tool> when the tool's executable isn't on PATH

---

Reliability Fixes

• git stash-list now reports real incrementing indices instead of stash@{0} for every entry (#912, #908)
• git worktree listVerbose no longer crashes on the --verbose/--porcelain conflict (#910, #906)
• github pr-diff full (patch chunks) and nameOnly (filenames) modes now work (#913, #907)
• github list/view parsers no longer crash with "Unexpected end of JSON input" on empty search results (#909, #905)
• github pr-checks and pr-diff accept a path parameter (#900, #896)
• github release-list no longer fails on an invalid url field (#875, #868)
• npm install drops the npm-only --no-audit flag for pnpm/yarn (#873, #872)
• search no longer crashes with spawn ENOTDIR when given a file path (#874, #871)
• git checkout orders --track/-b/start-point operands correctly (#898)
• git path is now authoritative for worktree cwd resolution, with the worktree-isolation contract documented (#911, #876)

Community Contribution

Thanks to @MohammadYusif for their first contribution — fixing label-list crashing with "Unexpected end of JSON input" when --search matched zero labels (#904, closes #903).
