Agentic Use

There is now a new command but agent setup which makes the overall setup easier. It is an interactive wizard for tuning version control behavior (similar to https://docs.gitbutler.com/ai-agents/tuning-agent-behavior but easier to setup). Running this is a good idea for best performance.

• Multi-committing, amending and splitting of commits now complete quicker and use less tokens
• Improved PR stacking workflows

Changes

• There is now a "Font size" setting for the diff views (Settings → Appearance)

CLI

• but amend now accepts --changes to amend specific changes into a commit
• You can now provide a message when creating an empty commit with but commit
• but uncommit now supports a diff output option to print the resulting changes
• but status now shows stacked branches that have been merged upstream
• Hunk IDs are now stable across commits and discards
• but completions now appears in the help output, making it discoverable when you grab the but binary without an installer
• but output now labels "unassigned changes" as "uncommitted"
• Fixes a bug where but apply could report success while leaving a branch unapplied when workspace metadata was stale
• Removed the but mark and but unmark commands
• Improved error messages when stdin isn't a terminal

TUI

• You can now reorder stacks in the TUI
• You can now apply branches from the TUI
• You can now move multiple commits at once in the TUI
• You can now commit above or below the selected commit in the TUI
• You can now copy more things in the TUI — commit details, diff hunks, branch names and more — with shift+y
• Improved scroll keybindings: j/k/arrows move by line, ctrl+d/ctrl+u jump by 10 lines, and shift+j/shift+k jump by section
• Unapplying a branch and undoing no longer prompt for confirmation in the TUI, since both can be undone

Fixes

• Fixes a bug where moving empty branches did not work correctly
• Fixes a bug where commit-message and branch-name generation failed for non-OpenAI providers (Anthropic, Ollama, and others)
• Fixes an issue where commit signing failed when gpg.ssh.program pointed at a path containing a tilde (~)
• Fixes an issue where being offline produced repeated error toasts from background pull-request polling
• Fixes an issue where updating the workspace was not handling squash-merge integrated branches properly

• @tobeycodes made their first contribution in #14348
