Full Release Notes
## Changes - Changes made from outside the app, such as from the `but` CLI, now appear in the desktop app automatically without a manual refresh - Adds an "Uncommit changes" option to the committed hunk context menu - Adds Antigravity as a selectable editor for "Open in Editor" - Redesigned how upstream changes are integrated into a branch: a new update button in the branch list opens a redesigned modal that shows how your branch has diverged from its remote, lets you choose an integration strategy, and previews the result before you apply it ## Fixes - Fixes a bug where GitHub OAuth failures showed a "missing field" error instead of the actual error response from GitHub - Fixes an issue where a new branch created on top of pushed commits was incorrectly styled as already pushed; branch styling now follows the branch's own push status - Fixes the stacked-PR footer "part X of N" count so it matches each PR's position badge - Fixes an issue where edit-mode refs (`gitbutler/edit`) were left behind after leaving edit mode - Fixes an issue where "Open in Editor" failed to open the project in Zed ## CLI - `--json` has been replaced by `--format json` - Adds `but branch update` to integrate a branch's upstream changes, with selectable strategies (built-in templates or custom steps) - Fixes some Codex specific issues causing the tool to underperform compared to Claude Code - `but` now warns when an agent's skill files are stale and refreshes them automatically - Fixes a bug where `but apply` reported success and exited 0 even when the branch was left unapplied due to conflicts; it now fails with a clear error - Fixes a bug where `but rub zz commit` did not amend all changes - Fixes a bug where `but branch show` could not find branches that were not at the head of a stack - Fixes a bug where the cache directory was never created, so `but` never stored its update-check result - Improved the error message when creating a branch whose path prefix collides with an existing branch ## TUI - You can now mark multiple uncommitted files in the TUI and commit or discard them together - You can now move multiple uncommitted files at once in the TUI - Improved the labels shown when moving branches in the TUI ## New Contributors * @matas-zanevicius made their first contribution in https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/pull/14149 * @AasheeshLikePanner made their first contribution in https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/pull/14114 * @sergeykuzmich made their first contribution in https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/pull/14180 * @allenthich made their first contribution in https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/pull/14231 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/compare/release/0.20.0...release/0.20.1 ## Downloads Download bins from https://gitbutler.com/
