2.0

Release notes

Starting with Gitnuro 2.0, any previously saved information and preferences from 1.X will be reset as storage has been reworked. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Features

• Added option to rename a branch (does not work on current branch).
• Support for commits and tags signing using SSH keys.
• Support for git-credentials-manager.
• Added option to open a file in File Explorer (from status and commit changes).
• Status multiselection to execute tasks in multiple files at the same time.
• Improved graph design that excels in complex projects with many branches and merges
• Updated UI themes.
• Current repository is shown as part of the window title.
• Menu options are now disabled when they are not usable (example: pull and push when no remote).
• Support for hooks in Windows without cygwin by using Git Bash
• Option to show status to amend current commit if there are no status changes
• Added better error messages.
• Branches are now merged with their remote counterpart if on the same commit.
• Rebase edit now automatically picks up the previous message instead of showing an empty commit field.

Fixes

• Fetch feature does not prune deleted branches.- Restored load of persisted commit message
• LFS failing to pull changes in certain providers
• Stacktrace showing even if there is no exception
• Monospaced font not being used in the linux build.
• Conflicting keybindings for macOS.

Performance

• Reduced Gitnuro memory usage for large repositories.
• Reduced memory usage by cleaning no longer needed Git resources
• Improved diff loading speed.
• Directories are now observed for changes independently and following .gitignore rules instead of watching the whole repository. This will result in lower RAM usage and less chance to get a max watches error on linux.
