GitBolt 0.1.0

The first release, for Linux.

Added

Graph

• A canvas-drawn, virtualized commit graph with lanes, branch and tag chips, author avatars,
  stash nodes, and the working tree's changes (WIP) as the top row.
• A pinned trunk lane. By default it's your local counterpart of the upstream's default branch,
  and it is fork-aware.
• One chip per branch across remotes, hover cards, and branch-hover highlighting.
• Resizable columns with a smart fit, and a committer date column with a choice of date formats.
• Compare two commits, with swap. Multi-select with Ctrl+click and Shift ranges.
• Find (Ctrl+F).

Repositories and the app

• Tabs for several repositories and their worktrees, and an Open Repository screen with clone.
• One running instance: launching GitBolt again opens the folder in the running window.
• A toolbar, a status bar, and a sidebar with branches, remotes, tags, stashes, worktrees and
  MRs/PRs. The sidebar has a filter, a tree view and resizable panels.
• A command palette (Ctrl+P), Settings (Ctrl+,), a keyboard shortcuts panel (Ctrl+/), and
  back/forward navigation (mouse buttons, Alt+Left/Right).
• Profiles. Each has its own tabs, forge accounts and an optional extra git config file.
• Ten themes, dark and light, with per-lane colour overrides, density presets and app zoom.
• The window reopens where it was.
• An Activity log of git commands and their output, including hook output.

Staging and commits

• Stage and unstage files, hunks and lines. Discard changes.
• Commit, amend, and edit the last commit's message. The commit box shows the author identity
  and keeps a draft per worktree.
• Undo and redo for most operations. An Undo dropdown can undo an older action out of order when
  nothing later depends on it.
• Autostash, and Remove stale lock for a leftover index.lock.
• English (US) spell check in the commit message and the MR/PR text fields, with suggestions
  on right-click. The dictionary ships with the app, so it works offline.

Branches, sync and history tools

• Branches: create, rename, set the upstream, delete (local and remote), check out and reset.
  Worktrees too.
• Stashes: push, apply, pop and drop.
• Fetch, pull and push, plus a background fetch on a schedule.
  • After a rewrite, Push force-pushes with a lease.
  • "Push tags with branches" is optional.
  • Add a remote, fetch a single remote, and remove a remote (undoable).
• Merge and rebase, with a conflict banner and a three-way merge tool that has a conflict
  minimap.
• A visual interactive rebase editor, with conflict prediction, pause, and an Edit stop.
• Cherry-pick and revert, each with a no-commit variant. Tags: create, delete and push.
• File history with each version's diff, blame, and restore a file from a commit.
• Stacked branches: detection, Push stack, and Rebase stack onto its base.
• Commit signature verification.

Diffs and files

• A Monaco-based diff viewer with Shiki highlighting. It has inline, split and hunk modes,
  word-level changes and sticky scroll.
• Image diffs: side by side, swipe, onion skin and difference, with zoom and pan.
• Binary files shown as hex.
• File View: rendered or source, an editable working-tree file, and Create file.
• "Open in…" your editor or file manager, including old versions of a file.

Markdown

• Rendered Markdown in MR/PR descriptions and comments, and in File View, with GitHub-like
  styles, code blocks with Copy, and Mermaid diagrams.
• A Write/Preview editor for replies, edits and new MRs/PRs.
• Rendered Markdown diffs, inline or side by side, with word-level changes and an overview
  ruler.
• Images from hosts other than the forge's load only after a click.

Pull requests and merge requests (GitHub and GitLab)

• Forge accounts with personal access tokens (GitHub classic and fine-grained tokens, GitLab
  tokens), kept in the system keyring.
• MR/PR badges on branch chips, an MR/PR section in the sidebar, and hover cards.
• An MR/PR view docked beside the graph.
  • Reply, approve, request changes, edit, and mark as draft.
  • Merge, and check out (adding the fork's remote first).
  • Pipeline status and an activity timeline.
• A Create MR/PR panel with templates, people and label pickers, and drafts.
• Stacked MRs/PRs: a stack table in descriptions, retargeting, and an after-merge flow.
• Avatars from your forge accounts and from Gravatar. Each source can be turned off.
• MR/PR data is cached across restarts. Polling is paced by the forges' rate limits.

Packaging

• A .deb package and an Arch Linux package, both with Chromium's setuid sandbox helper.
• Daily, redacted, size-capped log files.
