GitKraken 2.7 Changelog
Improvements
- Go-go gadget Fuzzy Finder is now even more efficient.
- Start a pull request or create a tag.
- Access the Git flow panel.
- “Search Commits” will take you back to the graph to view your selection, if the graph wasn't visible prior to your search.
- Wowsers! Git hooks are better too!
- The pre-commit Git hook can now modify the files of the same commit it's running.
- Git hooks that have control characters (like ANSI escape codes) are rendered correctly when their logs are displayed on failure.
- On Windows, you can now browse for your sh.exe file for Git hooks.
- Some prefer tabs, some prefer spaces, but at least now you can configure how many spaces should render for tabs in diff view.
- A quick right-click will now give you the option to delete repos from the repository management panel.
- We heard your requests for more feedback with blank diffs:
- A filemode change will now let you know that the contents have not changed.
- A whitespace change when “Ignore Whitespace” is checked, will give you a heads up that you need to uncheck it.
- A binary file change will tell you that GitKraken can't display those.
- Local branches can now be renamed-because we all make tpyos.
Bug Fixes
- GitKraken used to crash when trying to parse empty reflog messages; sorry about that chief, it's fixed.
- We trust that you read the EULA, so you can close that modal now without having to refresh GitKraken.
- Merge conflict resolution on Windows no longer adds extra empty lines. Resolve conflicts with confidence again!
- When the Clone Repo form is submitted, its input is cleared.
- Command/Ctrl+P now clears the Fuzzy Finder, ah efficiency.
- You'll no longer get an error when you “Unstage All” from the Fuzzy Finder when there is no WIP node.
