What's shipped since 1.0 (through 2.1.0)

[alexrinass]

It's been about seven months since the 1.0 announcement here, and four releases have shipped since — 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 2.0.0, and 2.1.0 today. Here's what each one brought.

1.1.0 — push options, configurable hooks

Push-option support for publish (--push-option/-o), and a configurable hooks directory via gitflow.path.hooks/core.hooksPath instead of the fixed .git/hooks. Plus several remote-validation fixes so delete/publish/track/finish fail cleanly instead of erroring deep inside a git call.

1.2.0 — integrate, resumable updates, stricter sync checks

git flow integrate to merge a parent branch into a topic branch directly. update --continue/--abort to resume or cancel an interrupted update. finish now pushes the merged branch and tag after merging, detects and clears stale merge state from an interrupted run, and runs a stricter pre-merge sync check (aborts on behind/diverged, tolerates ahead). Windows arm64 build target added.

2.0.0 — shared config, shell completion

init --shared writes the git-flow setup to a committable .gitflow file, so a team's branch model lives in the repo instead of every clone's local config — config sync/config status keep the two in sync and report drift. Shell tab completion for bash, zsh, and fish. init --init can create the repository itself when run outside one. Breaking: git flow version output changed shape (version number now comes first) to match tooling expectations from git-flow-avh.

2.1.0 — worktree support, fast-forward-only finish

The headline feature: git-flow now manages Git worktrees across a topic branch's whole lifecycle. <type> start --worktree creates the branch in its own worktree, checkout navigates to it (with shell-init for automatic cd), <type> list --worktrees shows what's linked, and finish/delete free the worktree — removing one git-flow created, or safely detaching one you made by hand so nothing in it is touched. Also new: finish --ff-only to require a clean fast-forward before finishing, and gitflow.branch.<type>.worktree to make worktrees the default for a branch type.
