v1.2.6

git-ai-project/git-aiv1.2.6Apr 6, 2026by github-actions[bot]

AI Summary

git-ai v1.2.6 is a maintenance release focused on improving AI authorship attribution accuracy across complex Git operations like rebasing, stashing, cherry-picking, and conflict resolution, while also adding new features including a `git ai log` command and firebender checkpoint support.

Key Highlights

  • Fixed AI authorship attribution for complex scenarios: N→1 and 1→N line reformats, stash operations, cherry-pick, squash merges, interactive rebase, and multi-byte UTF-8 handling
  • Added new `git ai log` command for logging functionality
  • Added firebender checkpoint support for enhanced workflow integration
  • Fixed daemon mode config staleness by using Config::fresh() for reliable updates
  • Resolved multiple edge cases around commit note corruption during rebases and conflict scenarios

Breaking Changes

  • Stats now ignore renamed files (closes #923) - this changes previous behavior where renamed files were included in stats

New Features

  • New `git ai log` command
  • Firebender checkpoint support
  • Filter firebender tool calls in checkpoint, not in hook matcher
