Git work often spans work and personal projects. Gitonium now respects each repository’s Git user settings (`user.name` and `user.email` in that repo’s config), so commits match what Git would use—and stay in sync with other tools or hand-edited config. Repository Settings brings those fields together with remote credentials. We’ve also made it easier to get started by pulling in your existing Git user when Gitonium doesn’t have a default yet.

Gitonium now supports working with multiple repositories in parallel, each in its own window. This update also introduces a redesigned welcome window that makes it faster to open, reopen, rename, and manage recent repositories. We also improved window restoration, focus-aware menu actions, and recent repository handling to make multi-repo workflows feel more natural across launches.

We're excited to introduce several new features and improvements to enhance your experience: Improved Commit Review Experience - Collapse and Expand File Diffs: You can now easily toggle the visibility of individual file diffs within a commit. This feature helps you focus on the changes that matter most and makes navigating large commits much more manageable. - Navigate Directly to File Diffs: Clicking on filenames in the commit overview now scrolls directly to that file's diff. Quickly jump to specific files to review changes more efficiently. Visual Enhancements - Cleaner Commit Headers: We've fixed a visual bug that caused the header background to appear outside its rounded borders. The commit headers now look sharper and more polished, improving the overall appearance. - Line Number Ruler Fix: The line number display in diffs has been refined to eliminate visual artifacts. This results in a cleaner, more readable diff view, making it easier to review changes. We hope these updates make your workflow smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you for using Gitonium!

We're excited to introduce several improvements and fixes to enhance your development experience: Enhanced Staging Accuracy - More Reliable Line Staging: We've improved the way individual lines are staged by considering the surrounding context.

Choose to ignore or include whitespace differences to match your workflow and ensure your changes reflect your intentions. Thank you for your continued feedback and support! These updates aim to make your workflow smoother and more efficient.

# Release Highlights - **Multi-line Staging:** Stage multiple lines at once by dragging, making partial commits faster. - **Permission Changes Visible:** Diff view now clearly shows file permission modifications. - **Welcome Screen Improved:** Fixed a visual glitch on the open repo button. - **New App Icon:** New circuit board branch design replacing the previous icon.

I hope these updates make your Git workflow smoother than ever. Enjoy!

When someone reindents some code, you can toggle white space rendering in diffs, and focus in on just the actual changes.

- Gitonium now supports organising your branches in folders - Fixed a bug in the diff view that could occasionally lead to an infinite reload loop for large diffs, like merge commits.

By popular request: Gitonium now supports Ollama, so you can maintain privacy and avoid API costs by running your own local LLM.

- You can now pull from, and push to remote repositories! - The icon got an update

Fixed a crash on startup that would happen when syntax highlighting a particular character sequence in a diff.

#### Added - A feature wish list! Suggest a feature you want! - A manual Generate Commit Message option. Very handy if you want to run it whenever you wanto, or if you just want to re-run it. #### Changed - A "Commit" command menu, with commands and shortcuts for all commit related actions.

#### Added - Buttons for Stage/Unstage and Stage All/Unstage all, for users who prefer to not to doubleclick the file list. - More keyboard shortcuts: - Command+RightArrow will stage the selected file(s). - Command+LeftArrow will unstage the selected file(s). - Command+s will commit any staged changes. #### Fixed - Eliminated another multi-hyphen related crash when syntax highlighting. #### Changed - Successively staging multiple files will now correctly cancel the previous request. - Increased the suggestion speed.

- Fixed a bug with a repeating ratings prompt after committing. It should only be displayed once. I'm so sorry!

- Better and longer commit messages, especially when there are a lot of changes in one commit. - Improved margins and padding on the conflict resolution view. - Added App Preview.

Fixed a crash that would happen when trying to syntax highlight a diff containing more than 69 consecutive hyphens. A proper stack overflow there, ladies and gentlemen.
