Added

  • Adds a Copy Working Changes to Worktree... command to the Commit Graph and command palette to copy the current working changes to an existing worktree
  • Avoids prompt to add a (required) remote and instead auto-adds the remote during worktree creation from a pull request
• Adds ability to open multiple changes in VS Code's new multi-diff editor, previously experimental and now enabled by default
  • Adds an inline Open All Changes command to commits, stashes, and comparisons in the views
  • Changes Open All Changes & Open All Changes with Working Tree commands to use the new multi-diff editor when enabled
  • Adds Open All Changes, Individually & Open All Changes with Working Tree, Individually commands to provide access to the previous behavior
  • Renames the gitlens.experimental.openChangesInMultiDiffEditor setting to gitlens.views.openChangesInMultiDiffEditor, which is enabled by default, to specify whether to open changes in the multi-diff editor (single tab) or in individual diff editors (multiple tabs)
  • Requires VS Code 1.86 or later, or VS Code 1.85 with multiDiffEditor.experimental.enabled enabled
• Adds new comparison features to pull requests in GitLens views
  • Adds an Open Pull Request Changes context menu command on pull requests in the Commit Graph and other GitLens views to view pull request changes in a multi-diff editor (single tab)
  • Requires VS Code 1.86 or later, or VS Code 1.85 with multiDiffEditor.experimental.enabled enabled
  • Adds a Compare Pull Request context menu command on pull requests in the Commit Graph and other GitLens views to open a comparison between the head and base of the pull request for easy reviewing
• Adds an Open in Commit Graph context menu command on pull requests in GitLens view to open the tip commit in the Commit Graph
• Adds ability to copy changes, commits, stashes, and comparison as a patch to the clipboard
  • Adds a Copy as Patch context menu command on files, commits, stashes, and comparisons in GitLens views
  • Adds a Copy as Patch context menu command on files in the Changes and Staged Changes groups as well as the groups themselves in the Source Control view
  • Adds a Apply Copied Patch command in the command palette to apply a patch from the clipboard
• Adds an Open All Changes inline button to branch status (upstream) and branch status files in GitLens views
• Adds an Open Changes submenu to branch status (upstream) and branch status files in GitLens views
• Adds ability to preserve inline and file annotations while editing, previously experimental and now enabled by default
  • Renames the gitlens.experimental.allowAnnotationsWhenDirty setting to gitlens.fileAnnotations.preserveWhileEditing, which is enabled by default, to specify whether file annotations will be preserved while editing — closes #1988, #3016
  • Use the existing gitlens.advanced.blame.delayAfterEdit setting to control how long to wait (defaults to 5s) before the annotation will update while the file is still dirty, which only applies if the file is under the gitlens.advanced.sizeThresholdAfterEdit setting threshold (defaults to 5000 lines)
• Adds an Open File Annotation Settings command to the File Annotations submenu in the editor toolbar to open the GitLens Settings editor to the file annotations sections
• Adds gitlens.blame.fontFamily, gitlens.blame.fontSize, gitlens.blame.fontWeight settings to specify the font (family, size, and weight respectively) of the File Blame annotations — closes #3134
• Adds Copy Link to Code, Copy Link to File, and Copy Link to File at Revision... commands to the Share submenu in the editor line number (gutter) context menu
• Adds an alternate flow (pick another file) when using the Open File at Revision... and Open Changes with Revision... commands to open a file that has been renamed and the rename is currently unstaged — closes #3109
• Adds access to most Git Command Palette commands directly to the command palette
• Adds Rename Stash... options to stash quick pick menus
• Adds support for the latest GPT-4 Turbo models

Changed

• Fixes missing repository icons in the Repositories view
• Fixes #3116 - Fix typos in README.md and package.json — thanks to PR #3117 by yutotnh (@yutotnh)
