git-graph

Features

• Adds option --reverse for reverse display of the history (#79 by djosh34)

• Update all dependencies
• Fix for breaking changes

Bug fixes

• Bugfix for keyboard shortcuts (#56)

Other

• CI migrated to GitHub Actions (#57)

Library release, no changes for the application

Internal code simplifications by unwrapping write! (when writing to String), instead of bubbling up errors that never occur.

Library changes

• print::format::format_branches(...) now returns String instead of Result<String, _>

Bug fixes

• Shows all tags now, including those missing before (fix for #49)

Bug fixes

• Although shallow clones are still not supported, give a more informative error message when trying to display a shallow clone

Bug fixes

• Fix of spaces around detached HEAD in formatting

Features

• Branches merged from forks into equally-named branches of the current repository can be treated separately
  • E.g. when a branch master from a fork is merged into master, it can be displayed as if it was a feature branch

Library changes

Breaking changes

• print_unicode now returns the graph lines separated from text lines

Other changes

• BranchInfo now holds the indices of source and target branch in source_branch and target_branch

Library release, no changes for the application

Breaking changes

• Renamed GitGraph::branches to GitGraph::all_branches

Non-breaking changes

• Give access to actual branches and tags
• Store actual branches and tags as indices into all_branches

Library release, no changes for the application

This release tries to make git-graph usable as a library.

Breaking changes

• Restructured modules
• print_unicode now also returns the index map from commit index to output line, in addition to output text lines

Features

• Firts character of styles and formats can be used as abbreviations
• Improved branch sorting into visual columns.

The improved algorithm tries to place branches near to / to the right of branches they merge into and branches they deviate from.

Documentation

• Improved manual, extended by illustrations for styles and formats

Bigfixes

• Fixed severe bug that broke custom formatting with only a single line per commit

⚠️ Do not use this version! It is severely broken for custom formatting. ⚠️

Features

• CLI option --wrap for line wrapping of formatted commit output
• Automatic line wrapping for terminal width

Internal

• Reduced binary size and compile time through exclusion of unnecessary dependency features

• Commit formatting like git log --format=...
  • Predefined formats oneline, short, medium and full
  • Custom formats with support for a subset of git --format, see https://git-scm.com/docs/pretty-formats
• CLI option --color with [auto|always|never]
• Improved CLI help

Bugfixes

• Equal color for related local and remote branches
• Over-trace equally named branches to avoid "breaks" after merges of high-persistence branches
• No crash on stashes
• No crash on tags listed by libgit2 that actually aren't tags
• Minor fixes to RegEx in branching models

Documentation

• Added Manual: docs/manual.md
• Performance example with cargo repository (10k commits)

Features

• Paged output: print only one terminal page and wait for user input (Down, PgDown, Esc/Q/^C)
• Switch --no-pager to disable paging
• Show related remote and local branches in the same color

Bugfixes

• Fixed Regex in predefined models for correct start of line in case of OR (...)|(...)

Features

• Can be run from sub-directory (i.e. searches for repositories also upwards the directory tree)
• CLI argument --path to run for a repository outside the current path
• Prevent setting a non-existent model for a repository
• More informative error messages and help texts

Features

• Display tags and HEAD
• Support for indexed 256-color palette
