Packaging. 2026.08.0 was published with release notes and nothing to download — this release is
that gap closed, and it contains no changes to gittop itself.

Installing

sudo dpkg -i gittop_2026.08.1_amd64.deb

The .deb installs on Ubuntu 22.04 and later and Debian 12 and later.
gittop-2026.08.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz is the same build for distributions that do not take debs —
unpack it and put bin/gittop on your PATH.

On Windows, run it under WSL and install the .deb there. There is no native Windows build:
the ssh passphrase channel, the browser opener and the 0600 config file permissions are all
POSIX, so a native port is real work rather than a second build target. gittop already recognises
WSL — it uses wslview to open a browser and detects Windows Terminal's colour support.

Added

  • A .deb and a portable .tar.gz, both attached to the release automatically.
  • An application icon and a desktop entry, so gittop appears in application menus as well as on
    the command line. The scalable icon is installed for desktops that render SVG and rasters from
    16 to 256 pixels for those that do not.

Notes

The release binary is built against glibc 2.35 rather than whatever the CI runner happens to
carry. A dynamically linked binary treats its build-time glibc as a floor, so one built on a
current runner demands GLIBC_2.43 and refuses to start anywhere else — which reads as a corrupt
download rather than an unsupported system. The release now checks this and fails rather than
publishing a binary that would not start.
