What's Changed

Branches sidebar

• Overhauled the sidebar UI: branches now show author avatars, lines added/removed, number of commits, last change timestamp
• Simplified filtering - branches are now organized with a "segmented control" into "all", "PRs" and "Local" groups
• Fixes an issue where the sidebar used to show duplicated branches
• Improved performance of getting branch related data
• Improved branch searching

Diff rendering

• The diff will now highlight exactly which word / character were modified
• Improved copy-pasting from diffs
• Improved rendering performance
• Sexy diffs: adds an experimental option (enabled in settings) that renders changed parts of the diff with strikethrough
• Makes hunk dragging area more consistent and predictable
• Improved contrast in dark mode

Other

• The gitbutler/integration top commit is now an octopus merge, instead of a squash of virtual branches - this makes the "git blame" info of virtual branches appear correctly in other tools (Thanks @DrJume for this idea)
• It is now possible to clone HTTPS repos within the app
• Makes it once again possible to amend hunks into commits below the top one
• Adds options for GPT 4o mini and Claude 3.5 Sonnet models in the AI settings menu

Bugfixes:

• Fixes an issue where the app update popover can not be closed
• Fixes an issue in repos with submodules where when applying a branch the app may treat submodule files as if they are not part of a submodule
• Fixes an issue where for some remotes, the link for previewing a branch did not work
