Hello,
We’re proud to introduce version 5.4.0 of the Oxygen
Git Client add-on, your trusted tool for seamless version
control and collaboration. This update brings a host of
improvements designed to make your Git workflows even smoother and
more efficient.
Here are the key highlights of this release:
* AI-Generated Commit Messages: A new button above the
commit message area lets you generate commit messages using the
Oxygen AI Positron Assistant.
* GPG Key Signing: You can now sign commits with GPG keys
for added security.
* Enhanced Branch Creation Workflow: If unpulled changes
are detected when creating a new branch, a confirmation dialog box
is displayed where you can choose whether or not to pull the
changes before processing the branch creation.
* Improved Merge Handling: Receive warnings when merging
branches with unpulled changes, allowing you to update the branch
before retrying the merge.
* Detection of Orphaned Remote Branches: Local branches
linked to deleted remote branches are now flagged and reported.
* Custom Remote Pulls: Pull changes from any remote
branch, not just the tracked one.
* Progress Feedback: When performing tasks such as
switching or merging branches, restarting a merge, and many
others, the progress of the operation is now shown when it takes
more than two seconds to complete.
* Detailed Comparison Tools: When comparing revisions or
resolving conflicts, the comparison tool now offers more detailed
information about the commits involved.
* Updated to Latest JGit Component: The JGit component
was updated to version 7.0.0.
* Minimum Oxygen Version Update: The add-on now requires
Oxygen version 26.1 or newer.
* Bug Fixes: Various issues have been resolved to ensure
a smoother user experience.
