gitbutlerapp/gitbutler release/0.20.1

on GitHub

Changes

• Changes made from outside the app, such as from the but CLI, now appear in the desktop app automatically without a manual refresh
• Adds an "Uncommit changes" option to the committed hunk context menu
• Adds Antigravity as a selectable editor for "Open in Editor"
• Redesigned how upstream changes are integrated into a branch: a new update button in the branch list opens a redesigned modal that shows how your branch has diverged from its remote, lets you choose an integration strategy, and previews the result before you apply it

Fixes

• Fixes a bug where GitHub OAuth failures showed a "missing field" error instead of the actual error response from GitHub
• Fixes an issue where a new branch created on top of pushed commits was incorrectly styled as already pushed; branch styling now follows the branch's own push status
• Fixes the stacked-PR footer "part X of N" count so it matches each PR's position badge
• Fixes an issue where edit-mode refs (gitbutler/edit) were left behind after leaving edit mode
• Fixes an issue where "Open in Editor" failed to open the project in Zed

CLI

• --json has been replaced by --format json
• Adds but branch update to integrate a branch's upstream changes, with selectable strategies (built-in templates or custom steps)
• Fixes some Codex specific issues causing the tool to underperform compared to Claude Code
• but now warns when an agent's skill files are stale and refreshes them automatically
• Fixes a bug where but apply reported success and exited 0 even when the branch was left unapplied due to conflicts; it now fails with a clear error
• Fixes a bug where but rub zz commit did not amend all changes
• Fixes a bug where but branch show could not find branches that were not at the head of a stack
• Fixes a bug where the cache directory was never created, so but never stored its update-check result
• Improved the error message when creating a branch whose path prefix collides with an existing branch

TUI

• You can now mark multiple uncommitted files in the TUI and commit or discard them together
• You can now move multiple uncommitted files at once in the TUI
• Improved the labels shown when moving branches in the TUI
