v3.3.3

Added a new Git branch search feature! Now you can search for terms across your working tree, local branches, or remote branches!

Settings menu:

An example search:

You can also filter to specific branches! If you know that you are looking for something on one of Aidan's branches, you can filter for it:

v3.2.3

Esc now quits yoink when no overlay is open (clean exit, same as Ctrl-C). With an overlay open, Esc still just closes it. Updates in-app help, the bindings footer, and the README.

v3.2.2

Fix for the yoink shell wrapper configuration in the user's bash profile.

v3.2.1

Added an option in the settings menu to add a section to the user's CLAUDE.md file explaining the use of yoink headless mode.

v3.2.0

• Added a new auto-update feature which detects newer versions of yoink and prompts you to install the new update.
• Reworked the installer script to better detect and edit the bash profile of the user for the yoink section/function configuration.
• Fixed an issue with the headless mode which affected output. Requires a change to the user's bash profile, hence the improvements to the installer script.

v3.1.0

Added headless mode to purely output text. This is a useful option for LLMs or copy/pasting results to other people.

Sample output from yoink 'version' -o markdown --limit 1:

v3.0.0

For this version, I have completely reworked the UI to improve the user experience and to make usage easier to understand for new users.

Notable changes include:

• Added GLOB search. This means that rather than using regex like my.*search.*terms you can now use glob with my*search*terms. This is the new default for search formatting to make the program easier to use for beginners.
• Added a settings menu to change the default settings for search, sort, and case sensitivity
• Added a config file that allows for user-configurable binds for actions
• Added a binds help menu
• Added menus to change the current search settings.

v2.3.0

Significantly improved performance. Should now be nearly on-par with raw ripgrep, even with git blame lazy-loading, formatting, preview, etc.

Query	grep	ripgrep	yoink	yoink vs grep
testTerm1	171387ms	1738ms	1186ms	145× faster
testTerm2	142962ms	963ms	1310ms	109× faster
testTerm3	79005ms	973ms	1102ms	72× faster
testTerm4	64322ms	1116ms	1390ms	46× faster
testTerm5	75260ms	1010ms	1025ms	73× faster

v2.2.0

Added display of git blame to the top of the preview pane, as well as sorting the search results by git blame timestamp. This should make it easy to find the newest or oldest mention of some regex in your codebase, or see when a file was written right inside of yoink.

v2.1.1

Updated install script to improve user experience.

It should now be easier for the user to install yoink, including dependency checking, bashrc modification, and more!
