Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.1

gitwatchd v0.2.0

gitwatchd now supports every flag of the original gitwatch. New in this release:

• -l <lines> / -L <lines>: use the diff itself as the commit message, up to <lines> lines.
• -c <command>: run a command and use its output as the commit message.
• -C: pipe the changed file names into the -c command, e.g. gitwatchd -c 'xargs echo updated:' -C .
• -v and -e are accepted and ignored.

All of it is behaviour-matched against the original gitwatch script, including known bugs.

Install: brew install --cask will-howard/tap/gitwatchd

gitwatchd v0.1.1

• Watched-repo rows now read "3 pending changes" instead of showing a pencil icon, in the menu and in gitwatchd status.
• Clearer gitwatchd help text, and a rewritten README with install steps and a menu screenshot.
• Closer gitwatch parity for commit messages: the -d date format is now passed to date exactly as gitwatch does (use -d "+%Y", not -d "%Y"), and only the first %d in a message is expanded.

Install: brew install --cask will-howard/tap/gitwatchd

gitwatchd v0.1.0

Initial release.

• Menu-bar daemon that watches git repos and auto-commits on a debounce, with optional push, pull-rebase-before-push (-R), excludes, and per-repo pause
• Git behaviour matches upstream gitwatch, verified by differential tests against the vendored script
• Push failures retry with backoff, and immediately when the network returns; errors surface in the menu bar, and gitwatchd status mirrors the menu in the terminal
• Notarized and stapled Developer ID build (sha256 3fd286aec0feade35c5b1914f05d5abc360acef335dfd985b3ea0cc1912c3917)
