Fork 1.0.70

Sep 14, 2018 Dmitry Serov tag release notes mac

At Fork, we have been very hard at work since the last release, striving, among other things, to bring the long-awaited Bitbucket integration to your favourite git GUI for macOS. Now that Fork 1.0.70 has finally arrived, we can go over the newest features and bugfixes in this release. We hope each of them will change your daily git routine for the better.

As iconic as it may be, the Fork logo has been longing for an overhaul for quite some time. The Fork icon was kindly improved by our friend Václav Vančura, who is also a designer for Visual Studio for Mac and some other Microsoft products. If you like what you see, you might check out his other works on his website.

Ability to expand files in commit summary view [#194]

Down within the commit summary view there has been a handy list of files changed in the commit. Many of you might have felt the urge to click on the file name itself to see how exactly the file has been changed. In Fork 1.0.70 you can finally do that – there’s no need to navigate to changes in search of the file. You can also click ‘Expand All’ in the top right hand corner of the file list to be presented with every change associated with the commit.

Stage all button

The latest release of Fork features a new button above the list of unstaged files. It allows you to stage/unstage all changes in the working directory – perfect for when you don’t want to miss a thing.

Save working directory changes as a patch

In Fork, you have been able to create patches from commits for some time now – but we thought you should not be forced to commit your changes every time you wanted to save them as a patch. Now you can just select the files of interest in the Changes view and choose ‘Save as Patch…’ from the contextual menu.

Reworked contextual menu [#113]

As the number of features in Fork grew, so did the size of contextual menu invoked with +Click (or right click). Some of you felt the need to reorganize the menu to increase its readability and ease of use – and so we did, while also taking your suggestions into account.
