Grove v0.1.3-alpha

Hover a commit dot to see its details and jump from there.

New

• Hovering a commit node reveals a card with the commit message, its branch/tag refs, author and age, a merge marker, and the short SHA (copyable). From the card you can click a ref to filter the graph to it, or "View diff" to open the commit. The dot has a larger hit area so it is easy to land on.
• Tab switches (Graph / Changes / Worktrees) now count as navigation: Back steps through the tabs you visited, and back/forward to the same repo just flips the tab with no reload, so the nav buttons are instant and reliable.

Install (Windows x64)

• Grove_0.1.3_x64-setup.exe (NSIS installer, ~2.3 MB), or
• Grove_0.1.3_x64_en-US.msi (~3.4 MB)

Still unsigned: Windows SmartScreen will warn. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". Installs over a previous version in place.

Windows only for now. Built with Tauri 2 and Svelte 5.

Grove v0.1.2-alpha

A performance patch over v0.1.1, targeting random scroll/click stutter and slow commit loads.

What changed

• The file watcher no longer reacts to high-volume build/dependency directories (node_modules, target, dist, build, .svelte-kit, .next). notify watches recursively and ignores .gitignore, so a running build or editor used to flood Grove with events and spin a refresh loop. This was the main cause of the "random stuck" stutter.
• Live refresh now defers while you are actively scrolling or clicking, and skips re-laying-out the graph when nothing actually changed.
• Opening a commit makes two git calls instead of four, so commit details load faster.

Install (Windows x64)

• Grove_0.1.2_x64-setup.exe (NSIS installer, ~2.3 MB), or
• Grove_0.1.2_x64_en-US.msi (~3.4 MB)

Still unsigned: Windows SmartScreen will warn. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". Installs over a previous version in place.

Grove v0.1.1-alpha

A patch over the first alpha: the packaged app no longer flashes console windows on Windows.

Grove shells out to git for almost everything, and on Windows each call briefly popped a console window, so on a busy repo it strobed a terminal open and closed non-stop. Every subprocess now spawns with CREATE_NO_WINDOW, so it runs silently.

Install (Windows x64)

• Grove_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe (NSIS installer, ~2.3 MB), or
• Grove_0.1.1_x64_en-US.msi (~3.4 MB)

Still unsigned: Windows SmartScreen will warn. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Everything from the first alpha

• Commit graph with a live WIP node, virtualized for large repos
• Working changes: stage / unstage, commit, generate a message with your local agent
• Worktrees view
• One spotlight search (Ctrl+K) across projects, files, commits, branches, and content
• Ctrl+F find inside the expanded diff
• Persistent navigation hub with browser-style back / forward history
• Resizable, elevated panes with syntax-highlighted diffs
