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

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

If you were using a remote main branch, you will have to switch to a local main branch, as remote main branches are no longer supported; see below.

If you haven't already taken the user survey, please consider doing so!

Changes to branching:
- We now use "switch" instead of "checkout" as the terminology, and the alias git sw is installed by default instead of git co. Thanks to @mlcui-google for fixing a bug in this!
- Remote main branches are no longer supported.
- Branches will be automatically checked out when switched to. Thanks to @bcspragu for implementing this!
More customizable smartlogs:
- You can now render different views of the smartlog, possibly omitting commits and branches at your discretion. Thanks to @claytonrcarter for implementing this!
- Merge commits are also rendered slightly better.
git test:
- Lets you run a given command or check on each commit in your stack.
- You can leave feedback about the UI or workflow in the discussion board or Discord chat.
- Documentation at Command: git test.

(Create git test command #576) EXPERIMENTAL: Created git test command to run a command on each commit in your stack.
(feat(sync): pull from remote main branch #589, fix(sync): fix syncing commit stacks built on local main branch #593) git sync --pull rebases the local main branch on top of the remote main branch.
(feat(smartlog): Support for rendering a sparse smartlog #619) git smartlog now renders revsets with non-contiguous commits.
(Better rendering of merge commits in smartlog #638) git smartlog now deduplicates merge commits which appear in the smartlog.

(Add support for interactively checking out a branch #526) BREAKING: When checking out a commit with a single branch attached to it, that branch will also be checked out.
(feat(sync): pull from remote main branch #589) BREAKING: Remote main branches are no longer supported. To upgrade you'll need to create a local main branch which tracks the remote main branch. You can use git sync to keep it up-to-date.
(feat(revset): Add rewritten revset function #571) Added current(<revset>) revset function to determine the latest versions of a set of rewritten commits.
(Create public(), main() revset functions #582) Added main(), public() revset functions.
(fix(sync): fix syncing commit stacks built on local main branch #593, feat(submit): show more detailed summary after pushing #608) git sync produces more descriptive output.

(Improvements to git init #588) git branchless init now works when invoked in a worktree.
(feat(sync): pull from remote main branch #589) git reword --force-rewrite no longer moves remote-tracking branches.
(feat(sync): pull from remote main branch #589) git smartlog no longer uses 100% CPU in certain cases with remote main branches (because remote main branches are no longer supported).

Thanks to the following first-time contributors!

Thanks for the update, I really how fast this can rebase branches. Any chance on a binary release for this version?
