🎉 LAZYGIT FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION 🎉

Holy moly, has it really been 5 years since Lazygit's birth? Time flies when you're having fun.

I've written a post celebrating the anniversary here.

As for this release, we've got some great features here.

Worktrees

We now have a worktrees view so you can easily create worktrees and switch to them and so on. I'm not a big worktrees user myself so please raise an issue if you can think of places to improve the UX.

Rebase --onto

Rebasing onto a marked base commit is a very useful feature that we've been sorely lacking for a while (demo coming soon)

Auto-refresh on window focus

Auto-refresh on window activation is a complete game-changer. No more having to manually press shift+R when you come back from your editor.

Nuking the worktree

We also have a fun enhancement in this release: showing an explosion animation when you nuke the working tree.

You'll also notice in the readme we've got some updated demo gifs to showoff Lazygit's features. More of those to come.
