Honest record of what's done, what's left, and what's intentionally limited. Current release: v2.5.0.
- Repository — open (folder / drag-drop / recent / reopen-last),
git init, clone (+ blobless partial clone), multiple repository tabs (each fully independent — its own live state & git service). - Commit graph — custom-rendered, virtualized, color-coded lanes, avatars, change bars, incremental loading; text search/filter; per-commit signature & CI-status badges; bookmarks.
- Diff — unified & side-by-side, word-level highlighting, syntax highlighting, ignore-whitespace
toggle, expand/collapse context, image diff (before/after); changed files as a folder tree;
clickable
#123/URL links. - Staging & commit — stage/unstage/discard, hunk & line-level staging, commit/amend, GPG/SSH signing, sign-off (-s), co-author trailer, edit author, Conventional-Commit type helper.
- History editing — interactive rebase (pick/squash/fixup/drop/reorder), reword, bisect, cherry-pick, revert, restore file to a commit's version, reflog undo.
- Branches/tags — checkout/create/delete/rename/merge/rebase, remote-branch delete, prune merged, ahead/behind badges; tags create/delete/push (+ signed/annotated).
- Remotes & network — fetch/pull/push, force-push (with lease), cancellation; GUI auth (PAT in Windows Credential Manager) + saved-credentials manager.
- Power tools — worktrees, Git LFS, deeper submodules, patch import/export, sparse-checkout, richer stash (diff preview + stash-to-branch), blame, file history, compare, content search (pickaxe).
- Hosting — in-app GitHub/GitLab PR & issue lists, CI status, "open in editor" (VS Code) + external diff tool.
- Management — repository statistics dashboard, Git config editor, CHANGELOG generator,
"add to .gitignore",
.gitignoregenerator, 3-way conflict resolver + abort/continue banner. - Safety & liveness (v2.5.0) — automatic refresh (FileSystemWatcher over the worktree and
git dir, debounced and coalesced), merge conflict prediction (in-memory
MergeCommits, nothing written), per-block conflict resolution (ours/theirs/both per region), pre-commit check (secret patterns, oversized blobs, normally-ignored paths — warns, never blocks). - App — light/dark + high-contrast theme, UI/text zoom, 5 UI languages (ko/en/ja/zh/es, persisted), customizable keyboard shortcuts, command palette (Ctrl+P), Explorer right-click integration + standalone dialogs, single-instance, crash-report opt-in, periodic background fetch (per-repo "behind" indicator), GitHub release-based auto-update (SHA-256 verified, stable/beta channels).
- winget / Microsoft Store distribution + portable (no-install) zip.
- Accessibility — deeper pass: item-level AutomationPeer, graph alt-text.
- OAuth device sign-in — the flow is fully implemented but inert until a GitHub OAuth App
client_id is registered (
GITTAB_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, or theClientIdconst inGitHubDeviceFlow.cs). PAT auth is used otherwise.
- Code signing is intentionally excluded (cost). Update integrity is instead guaranteed by the published SHA-256 that the updater verifies before launching an installer.
- The auto-updater download was fixed in v1.4.2: it used to hash the installer while the file was still open, breaking every real update. Builds v1.4.1 and earlier therefore need a one-time manual install of the latest release (see the pinned notice / README banner).
- Push auth is delegated to the system git credential helper; with none configured, git fails fast
(
GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0) and the error is surfaced — the app never hangs. - Screenshots in
docs/screenshots/were captured with the--topmostflag (a real feature) because Visual Studio held the foreground on the dev machine.
