Check it out π

It maintains real git references with an integration octopus merge on top that is checked out. This way you get an βintegratedβ work tree while being organise changes in separate branches

Check it out.

Oh nice! We should perhaps meet some time - beers on GitButler :)
15.05.2025 04:42 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thanks for sharing this! Gonna take a look today. There is definitely room for improving the layout so this is helpful.
To add a little big more context - We are also working to re-enable allocating uncommitted changes to lanes, which prompts some further layout adjustments too.
Hey, sorry for the late reply here - been working really hard the past few days incorporating feedback. Here's how the app looks like on the latest nightly build.
More improvements are on the way too
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Barry! πββοΈ
I agree with you - something was lost in this transition. We are currently exploring options to bring back the lane view.
Stay tuned - the plan is to make a new release later this week so that we can gather another round of feedback.
It's not your fault - the app should do better. Currently, if the changes 'touch', GB treats it as if they intersected... which can lead to this kind of confusion.
Soon the app will allow partial committing (vid below) & it will be possible to handle this better. Thanks for being patient with us! πββοΈ
The reason for this is that the 'lanes' are meant to be 'peers' - independently apply-able branches. In the case where dependency is desired, GB has support for stacked branches:
docs.gitbutler.com/features/sta...
I am sorry for the confusion! In general, changes are "locked" because they depend on a preceding commit.
For example if you create a function and then commit it, and subsequently make a change to that function, that change is "locked" to the lane.
It only makes sense in the context of the commit
This is incredible! Just seeing it for the first time myself :)

Happy birthday git, and thanks for all the fish.

I really enjoy working on @gitbutler.com illustrations! Here are some drafts and final versions for the "new branch" empty state. We actually reworked this, and now the whole section looks different π₯Έ

23.02.2025 11:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0PSA: everybody should set the git config `[branch] sort = -committerdate`, it should be the default tbh.
Though I am not sure about setting global git ignore, @scottchacon.com. I was once scratching my head why files were being ignored as I had forgotten about it blog.gitbutler.com/how-git-core...

That part was truly terrifying!
