Ctrl+F finds text in whatever the right-hand pane is showing: a
diff, a file, rendered markdown, an HTML preview, a blame or a file's history.
Matches are highlighted with the current one picked out; Enter / Shift+Enter and the arrows walk them, wrapping at either end; Esc closes; the count says where you are. The search reads the
rendered text, so a phrase is found across markdown's bold and code spans.
Views that render in chunks render the rest as the strip opens, so the count
covers the whole file or diff; a collapsed file in a multi-file diff is not
searched.
Ctrl+Shift+C copies as well as Ctrl+C, everywhere in
the window. In a terminal it takes xterm's own selection instead of reaching
the shell as an interrupt; in an HTML preview, the selection inside the frame.
With nothing selected, the key is left alone.
Clicking the Gitty brand in the title bar opens an About dialog: the
version, build time, author, and the Electron, Chromium and Node versions. It
is drawn by the renderer, so the home-page link opens in the system browser.
Whole-file blame is syntax-highlighted like the code viewer, so the lines in
the blame pane carry the same token colours as the diff and the file.
Each blame row shows the date of the commit that last touched the line, read
through the same time-zone and relative-time settings as the rest of the UI.
Markdown source lines, a View setting: each block of a rendered document
is numbered in the left gutter with the line it starts on in the source.
Headings, paragraphs, list items, tables, fenced code and images all get one,
so a passage in the preview can be found in the file. Off by default.
Changed
Font size goes from 9 to 20, where it was 11 to 16.
Monospace font and Shell are dropdowns rather than text fields.
Fonts are the monospace families installed on this machine, measured by
probing; shells come from /etc/shells plus the usual paths, COMSPEC and
PowerShell on Windows. A stored value the machine no longer offers stays in
the list.
Settings is three tabs — Appearance, View, Session — rather than one column
that had grown long enough to scroll. The panels stay mounted behind the
tabs, so every control keeps its state and the dialog is sized by its tallest
section rather than jumping as you switch. It opens on Appearance each time:
a short-lived dialog that resumes where it was left is a small puzzle.
Browsing a whole repository — the work tree, or a commit's snapshot — starts
with every directory collapsed, while a list of changes still opens expanded.
What you expand stays open while that tree is on screen; showing another tree
starts from the default again.
The file tree lists directories before files at every level, so a folder is
never buried among the names of its siblings.
File sorting in Settings: natural (the default) or git's byte order, for
anyone who wants the tree to match what git ls-files prints.
The file tree sorts names naturally. Git orders paths by byte, which puts SKILL_W10 between SKILL_W0 and SKILL_W1 and every capital before every
lowercase letter; the tree reads the digits in a name as a number and treats
case as a tiebreak. It sorts in one place for all five commands the entries
come from, by path segment — a whole-string compare could drop a.txt
between two files in a/, drawing the a/ heading twice.
The markdown outline is a resizable panel: drag the line between it and the
document (it used to be a fixed 210 pixels). The size is shared by every
document in the repository and lasts as long as the window.
Open Repository moved from the right-hand end of the title bar to a +
beside the repository button, drawn in the accent colour — with one repository
open it is the control the window still needs to offer.
The work tree row's right-click menu offers Browse Working Tree: the
repository as it is on disk right now, tracked and untracked files alike,
contents read from the work tree. It used to say Browse Snapshot and open
the tree at HEAD, omitting uncommitted work. A commit's Browse Snapshot
still browses that revision.
The blame pane's rows now show just the author and a compact date — the SHA
column is gone. A date from the current year drops the year ("Jul 1"); an
older one keeps it ("Jan 15, 2025"). The author and date carry the colour the
SHA used to carry, so adjacent commits are still told apart by hue. The full
SHA is in the row's tooltip; right-clicking a row copies it.
Fixed
Two user-visible strings bypassed the message tables — the lazy-chunk loading
fallback and the oversized-image notice. Both now read through the tables.
Rendered markdown, the code viewer and blame rebuilt their DOM on every state
change — markdown the whole document on every scroll, the others every line.
React sets innerHTML whenever the dangerouslySetInnerHTML prop is a different
object, and a fresh {__html} per render always is; the {__html} is now
memoised, leaving the nodes alone — which large files feel and which the find
highlights need to survive.
