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.

Note: The app comes both FREE and PRO versions. The free version is for non-commercial purpose. The PRO version has more attractive features, so feel free to support the developers.
