Hello,
We are proud to announce Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0, a
major update that makes Git workflows in Oxygen XML Editor, Oxygen
XML Author, Oxygen XML Developer, and Oxygen JSON Editor faster,
clearer, and easier to manage.
This release delivers a redesigned Git History view, AI-assisted
merge conflict resolution, smarter credential management, partial
stashing, visual image comparisons, and workflow refinements that
help teams move from change to commit with greater confidence.
What's New in Oxygen Git Client Add-on 6.0:
*************************************
A Reimagined Git History View
The enhanced History view makes repository activity easier to
understand at a glance. Uncommitted changes now appear in the
graph as a pending commit, active merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and
revert operations are clearly marked, and you can compare any two
points in history, including a selected revision against the
working copy. Interactive branch and status labels provide quick
access to branch actions and tracking details. Together, these
enhancements make it easier to trace changes, compare revisions,
and understand work in progress without losing context.
AI-Assisted Conflict Resolution
AI Positron can now analyze conflicting file versions and propose
a resolution with an explanation that you can verify using the
available compare actions, then refine it further if needed. You
stay in control as suggestions are applied only after approval.
This helps you resolve conflicts more confidently while staying in
control of the final result.
More Control, Less Friction
Version 6.0 adds context-sensitive controls for interrupted merge,
rebase, cherry-pick, and revert operations, making it easier to
continue, restart, or abort safely. A new Credentials preferences
page lets you review and remove individual stored credentials,
while an improved login behavior reduces repeated authentication
steps. These improvements help you recover from interrupted
workflows more easily and manage authentication with less
friction.
Smarter Everyday Workflows
Partial stashing lets you stash selected files instead of the
entire working copy, and a Rebase action enables you to rebase the
current local branch onto a selected revision. Image diffs are
displayed as true side-by-side visual comparisons, making design
and asset changes easier to review.
Additional enhancements include Push and Pull actions on the
current branch menu, faster remote branch discovery, improved
Blame integration, new actions to ignore untracked files or
folders, and customizable AI instructions for commit messages and
commit explanations.
