Full Release Notes
## TUI - Significant performance improvements starting and navigating in the TUI (`but tui`) - It's now more intuitive to create commits at arbitrary positions above/below other commits in the stack - Toasts are now stacked vertically - Adds support for creating a new branch from the `[unassigned changes]` - Fixes an issue where squashing a commit without a message was causing additional whitespace to be added to the commit message - The branch picker now (press `t` to open) now lists the `[unassigned changes]` at the top - The branch picker now has key-binds `ctrl+n/p` to move up/down and `ctrl+[` to close the picker. - Pressing `i` in commit mode will use inline reword to write the commit message, for cases where you don't want to open an editor. ## CLI - `but status` - significant performance improvements - When `but push` is executed, the app UI will be updated to reflect the new state - Fixes a windows-specific issue that was causing the CLI to crash with a stack overflow. ## Fixes and Improvements - Fixes a bug where in some cases a branch is not correctly detected as push-able - Fixes a issue with forge integrations resulting in a "Command forge_provider not allowed by ACL" error - Fixes a GitLab-specific issue where loading the integration would fail with "invalid type: string "...", expected internally tagged enum GitLabAccount" - Fixes an issue where in rare cases of the remote tracking branch being deleted, committing locally would fail - Fixes a UI issue causing a "null is not an object (evaluating 'u.close')" error popup - It is now easier to distinguish different self-hosted forge integrations (instance URL is shown) - Improved error handling when diffing deleted resources **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/compare/release/0.19.8...release/0.19.9 ## Downloads Download bins from https://gitbutler.com/
