v0.3.7

[arxanas]

To install or update git-branchless, run the following:

$ cargo install git-branchless
$ git branchless init  # in your repository

Release highlights

• Fixed a panic in git move.
• Move/restack operations now require you to specify --merge in order to start merge conflict resolution.
• You can configure colorization using the --color option or CLICOLOR/NOCOLOR environment variables (@bcongdon).
• The init.defaultBranch Git config setting is respected when running git branchless init (@bcongdon).

Thanks to @bcongdon for several contributions this release, and thanks to everyone else who provided valuable feedback in the Discussions!

Changelog

Added

• git branchless init takes a --main-branch option to specify the name of the main branch without interactive prompting.
• The --color=[auto,always,never] flag can be used to override the automatically detected value for terminal colors.
• The CLICOLOR and NOCOLOR environment variables are now respected.

Changed

• BREAKING: If your local main branch has an upstream branch, then that upstream branch will be treated as the repository's main branch, and your local main will be treated as a branch like any other. This should make workflows which commit to the main branch more ergonomic.
• BREAKING: git move and git restack will no longer perform merge conflict resolution unless the --merge option was passed.
• git branchless init will use init.defaultBranch when detecting the name of the main branch, if one is not provided by --main-branch.
• (feat(gc): display number of deleted references #144) When automatic garbage collection is run, the number of deleted references is displayed.

Fixed

• On-disk rebases on systems with /tmp residing on a different filesystem should no longer fail.
• (git-move: panics when --dest has not been observed by the Dag #129) git move operations with --dest referring to a remote commit no longer panic.
