git-nest 0.8.25
0.8.25 - 2026-08-12
--finally callbacks on iteration and batch commands
- Added
--finally <cmd>,--finally-no-error <cmd>, and
--finally-on-error <cmd>toforeach,foreach-modified,
foreach-clean,restore,snapshot,pull, andgc. Each runs a
shell command in the nest root exactly once, after the operation
completes:--finallyalways,--finally-no-erroronly on full
success,--finally-on-erroronly when any part failed. - The manifest lock is released before a callback runs, so a callback
may invokegit-nestitself (e.g.pull --finally 'git-nest snapshot'or a nested-nest operation) without deadlocking. --finally*cannot be combined with machine-readable output
(--porcelain/--json/--json-pretty).pullandgcnow return nonzero when any subproject failed or
diverged, so scripting and--finally-on-errorcan react to issues
instead of always seeing success.- The open
--finallysuggestion in todo.md was implemented and
removed; the remaining suggestion items were renumbered.
git-nest 0.8.24
0.8.24 - 2026-08-11
Repository cleanup
- Relocated Jekyll site source (index.md, _config.yml, assets/,
_includes/) from the repo root intodocs/site/. - Merged
tools/serve-site.pyintoscripts/tools/and deleted the
tools/directory. - Added
scripts/README.mddescribing the package and tool scripts. - Updated the quick-start intro in index.md to match the repository
About text. - Synced AGENTS.md and development/github-pages.md with the new layout.
git-nest 0.8.23
0.8.23 - 2026-08-11
Tag CI dispatch for Pages badges
- The release workflow now explicitly dispatches the three full CI
suites on the newly created tag viagh workflow run, because
gh release create's tag push withGITHUB_TOKENdoes not trigger
additional workflow runs. This makes the Pages site version-pinned
badges (?branch=v{{ site.version }}) go green automatically after
every release. - The shfmt auto-installer now lowercases
uname -soutput so the
download URL matches the actual GitHub release asset filename
(the filename is lowercase butuname -sis capitalised).
git-nest 0.8.22
0.8.22 - 2026-08-11
CI infrastructure fixes
- Fixed the shfmt auto-installer:
uname -sreturns "Linux" / "Darwin"
(capitalised) but the GitHub release asset filenames are lowercase;
the first download URL was wrong, which caused the fallback Windows
binary to be downloaded on Linux runners (intermittently failing when
the CDN happened to serve the capitalised URL correctly). - Version gate: added
--allow-equalso tag CI dispatches (re-validating
a past release for the version-pinned Pages badges) pass the gate
when the version equals the last release tag. The release workflow
still uses strict mode (no flag), so non-bump merges remain rejected. - CI workflows trigger on release tags (
v*) so the Pages site badge
URLs (?branch=v{{ site.version }}) reflect the release version's
actual test status rather than the development-branch state.
git-nest 0.8.21
0.8.21 - 2026-08-11
Protocol and URL substitution for subproject remotes
- Added a local per-developer protocol preference:
git-nest config set clone protocol ssh|https|http|manifeststores the transport
preference in.gitnest-rc(repo-wide, not committed). restore --prefer-ssh|--prefer-https|--prefer-http|--prefer-default
overrides the protocol for a single run and re-points each subproject's
origin to the effective URL;restore --dry-runpreviews the change.- Per-subproject exact URL override:
git-nest config set <path> substitute-url <url>for hosts whose SSH shape cannot be derived
from the HTTPS URL (Azure DevOps, custom ports, Gerrit). - Transport is rewritten via environment-level git
insteadOfper
unique host -- zero persistent git-config writes, no call-site changes
(git 2.31+ required forGIT_CONFIG_COUNTsupport). config listnow shows repo, clone-mode, substitute-url, protocol
(from both the manifest and.gitnest-rc); the new rc-writing
helpers supportconfig set/get/unsetfor rc keys.verifycompares origin against the effective URL by default (host+path
identity, protocol-tolerant);verify --strictchecks the exact
canonical manifest URL and rejects active rc overrides.- Documented the
url.<base>.insteadOfpattern,substitute-url, and
protocol preference in a new "Connecting To Your Remotes" section in
the Manual.
git-nest 0.8.20
0.8.20 - 2026-08-11
Windows installation documentation
- The QuickStart, the Manual, and the CI consumer guide now state
explicitly that Windows requires Git for Windows (git-nest runs on
Git Bash). Without it the installers complete but everygit-nest
command exits with "Git is not installed or not on PATH." (exit 3). - Added a direct PowerShell install option (
iex (iwr -useb ...))
alongside the cmd.exe wrapper one-liner on the QuickStart, in the
Manual, and in the CI consumer guide.
git-nest 0.8.19
0.8.19 - 2026-08-10
Installer and uninstaller fixes
- Fixed the download installer's checksum verification: the tarball was
downloaded asgit-nest.tar.gzbut verified against SHA256SUMS lines
naminggit-nest-<version>.tar.gz, so the documentedcurl | sh
install always aborted. The tarball is now downloaded under the
versioned name. - Fixed a dangerous uninstaller bug: all three uninstallers removed the
entire$prefix/sharedirectory, which could delete other tools'
data when the prefix is a shared location such as~/.local(the
default). They now remove only the git-nest-owned paths
(share/doc/git-nest,share/git-nest, and thegit-nest*man
pages) and leave everything else intact. - Pinned-version examples in the README and the CI consumer guide use
0.8.17 (the earliest published release) instead of the never-released
0.8.16. - Quickstart on the documentation site: single deep link to the
Manual's installation options; the second, redundant manual link was
replaced with a brief tool introduction. - The Manual page on the site no longer contains the "Documentation:"
link that pointed back at the site itself (the link remains in the
README for the GitHub repository page).
git-nest 0.8.18
0.8.18 - 2026-08-10
Documentation site fixes
- Fixed the GitHub Pages site: added the missing
baseurl: /git-nestso
CSS, assets, and page links resolve (the site rendered unstyled
before), and enabled.mdto.htmllink rewriting. - Sidebar: badge logo at the top with the site title below, a centered
status section (latest release version + the three full CI badges),
and a link back to the GitHub repository; the status section shares
the header's width and horizontal center at every viewport. - Home page: quickstart links to the Manual's install section for more
options; the full-width inline logo was removed (the logo now lives
in the sidebar). - Replaced all mermaid diagram blocks with ASCII diagrams (5 in
docs/examples.md, 1 in development/technical_docs.md) so the docs
render without a mermaid runtime. _config.ymlgains aversion:key shown as "Latest release" on the
site; the version alignment check now keeps it in lockstep with
bin/git-nest-main.shand version.md.- Added
tools/serve-site.py, a local preview server for the built
site (documented in development/github-pages.md).
git-nest 0.8.17
0.8.17 - 2026-08-10
Distribution, installation, and project publishing
- Added GitHub Pages site: Jekyll
just-the-docstheme, inline SVG logo
(the\_oOO_//mark, dark-mode aware, also the favicon), and automatic
deployment on merge to main. - Added one-line installers:
git-nest-install.sh(POSIX shells) and
git-nest-install.ps1(PowerShell), supportingVERSION=latest
(GitHub API) andVERSION=x.y.z, with SHA256SUMS verification. - Installers append the payload
bin/to PATH by default;
--no-add-path(sh/bat) orGIT_NEST_ADD_PATH=0(ps1) disables it
for CI and scripted installs. - Renamed install/uninstall scripts to
git-nest-install.*/
git-nest-uninstall.*; uninstallers self-locate their installation,
remove payload, staged docs/man/skill, and PATH configuration, and
delete themselves. - Windows installers register git-nest in Apps & Features (Settings ->
Apps) with a working uninstall entry; uninstallers remove it. git-nest helpprints the install path and the uninstaller name;
README documents the installed layout tree and per-system
install/uninstall instructions.- Added
docs/ci-consumer-guide.mdfor DevOps engineers: per-CI-system
install recipes (GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, GitLab CI, Gitea,
Jenkins), private-subproject credentials, agent-image pattern. - Split docs: user-facing documentation stays in
docs/(shipped in
packages); maintainer documentation moved todevelopment/. - Removed native package-manager stubs (Chocolatey, Homebrew, Scoop,
Winget, APT, RPM, AUR) and the Amiga packaging target; the universal
release tarball + install scripts are the sole distribution channel. - Renamed the implementation and awk modules to the
git-nest-*naming
convention (git-nest-main.sh,git-nest-parse.awk,
git-nest-tree-render.awk). - CI automation: full test suites gate pull requests (Linux, macOS,
Windows); merge to main runs the full Linux + fast macOS/Windows
suites, deploys Pages, and auto-triggers the release workflow, which
creates thevX.Y.Ztag and GitHub Release when the version gate
passes.
