v18.2.0

Added

• Introduces AI-powered conflict resolution (Preview) — a new Resolve mode in the Commit Graph WIP details panel that uses AI to resolve merge, rebase, and cherry-pick conflicts (#5306)
  • Resolves conflicted files in parallel with streamed progress, proposing a per-file resolution (merged, kept current, took incoming, deleted, or flagged as needs review) that you review as a diff before anything is applied
  • Adds the ability to refine the whole run with a prompt, give per-file feedback to re-resolve a single file, and apply or discard the proposed resolutions
  • Adds entry points across GitLens: a Resolve action on the WIP details header and the paused-operation banner, Commit Graph context menus and WIP row buttons (all conflicts or selected files), the Resolve Conflicts with AI Command Palette command, and a Resolve Conflict with AI action on individual conflicted files in the sidebar views
  • Adds clickable file links in the resolve panel that open a conflicted working-tree file so you can inspect it before resolving

Changed

• Changes the working changes (WIP) details header to lead with the Resolve action when conflicts are present, ahead of Compose, Review, and Compare
• Updates the design and readbility of the Pro feature gates (e.g. Commit Graph, Visual History) — with an optional Switch Repos action to move to a repository where the feature is available (#5335)
• Improves the AI weekly usage-limit message with a Get More Credits action to purchase additional AI credits for users who can buy credits, or guidance to contact an org admin for those who can't (#5298)

v18.1.0

Added

• Adds a gitlens.graph.searchAutocompleteOnFocus setting to control whether search autocomplete suggestions appear automatically when focusing or clicking the search input in the Commit Graph (#5287)
• Adds the ability to copy working changes to other opened worktrees from the Commit Graph (#5288)
• Adds the ability to discard working changes from the working changes (WIP) file list in the Commit Graph and Inspect view — per-file or in bulk, with safe partial discard for files that have both staged and unstaged changes (a first discard drops only the unstaged changes, preserving the staged portion) and a bulk action that switches to discarding staged changes when no unstaged changes remain (#5296)
• Adds an Add Co-authors button to the Commit Graph's working changes (WIP) commit box that opens the contributor picker and appends the selected co-authors to the commit message (#5297)
• Adds a Copy Changes (Patch) button to the working changes (WIP) file list in the Commit Graph and Inspect view that copies a unified diff of the uncommitted changes to the clipboard — copies staged changes by default and unstaged changes on Alt-click when both are present, otherwise copies all changes (#5302)
• Adds the ability to jump from the working changes (WIP) to its commit in the Commit Graph — a down-arrow in the working changes header selects the branch tip commit the changes are based on, complementing the existing action to jump from a commit to its working changes (#5303)
• Adds an Undo Commit row adornment to the Commit Graph — surfaces an inline undo button on a HEAD commit row when hovered, focused, or selected, alongside the existing context-menu action
• Adds support for undoing the HEAD commit of any worktree from the Commit Graph — the adornment and context-menu action now target the correct working tree for secondary worktrees, not just the active one (a distinct Undo Commit on Worktree label makes the target clear) (#5311)
• Adds responsive compaction to the Commit Graph's side bar icon rail in short layouts — hides the count badges and tightens spacing, then folds the overflowing icons into a "…" menu (with their labels and counts) as the rail runs out of room, restoring them as it grows (#5313)
• Adds a keyboard shortcuts reference to the Commit Graph — opened from a new keyboard icon in the graph's sidebar rail — listing all supported navigation, search, open, and commit shortcuts with platform-aware key labels (#5312)
• Adds back/forward navigation to the Commit Graph details panel and Inspect view — Back/Forward buttons in the commit and working changes (WIP) detail headers step back through previously-viewed commits, stashes, and working changes, best-effort re-selecting the row in the Commit Graph (#5316)
• Adds the ability to push up to (and including) a specific commit from the Commit Graph — commits ahead of the branch's upstream show an unpushed indicator that doubles as a one-click Push to Commit action, also available in the commit's context menu (#5314)
• Adds an Open Worktree File action to the commit file menu in the Commit Graph details and Inspect view that opens a committed file from the worktree whose branch contains the commit — useful in multi-worktree repos where the file's working copy lives outside the currently-scoped worktree, with a worktree picker when more than one worktree applies (#5317)
• Adds a working changes bar to the Commit Graph — a horizontal bar above the graph with a pill for each worktree that has uncommitted changes or unpushed commits (primary and secondary worktrees alike), showing its branch and agent status, with an up-arrow (↑) marking unpushed work and a hover breakdown of changed files and commits to push; clicking a pill reveals and selects that worktree's working changes in the graph and opens its details (#5301)
• Adds heat decay, read/edit color blending, and a live pulse to the experimental Agent Activity Treemap — touched files now fade over a configurable window after each tool call instead of switching on and off, reads and edits blend as cyan/amber weighted by recency, and a soft pulse marks the file an agent is reading or editing right now
  • Adds a gitlens.graph.experimental.visualizations.activityDecay setting (30 seconds to 30 minutes, default 5 minutes) with a matching decay-window picker in the treemap toolbar
  • Rolls sub-agent file activity up to the parent session so the heatmap reflects what a session's sub-agents are reading and editing
• Adds the ability to squash multiple commits from the Commit Graph — select two or more contiguous commits on the current branch, right-click, and choose Squash Commits to combine them into one, then review and edit the combined commit message (or keep only the oldest commit's message) (#5161)
• Adds the ability to drop multiple commits from the Commit Graph — select commits on the current branch, right-click, and choose Drop Commits to remove them (#5161)
• Adds the ability to reword a commit's message from the Commit Graph — right-click a commit on the current branch and choose Reword Commit (#5161)
• Adds a Modify Commits (Interactive Rebase) action to the Commit Graph that opens the interactive rebase editor scoped from the selected commit(s) for squashing, rewording, reordering, dropping, and editing (#5161)
• Adds a Publish Branch action to the Commit Graph header that appears when the current branch has no upstream — publishes (pushes and sets the upstream of) the current branch in one click, sitting just left of Fetch and collapsing to its icon when the header is too narrow (#5327)
• Adds the ability to multi-select files in the Commit Graph details and Inspect view to act on several at once — Ctrl/Cmd+click to toggle, Shift+click for a range, and Ctrl/Cmd+A to select all — with batch actions from the context menu and toolbar: open files, open selected changes (multi-diff), open on remote, copy paths and relative paths, and (for working changes) stage, unstage, stash, and discard (#5328)
• Adds a gitlens.advanced.repositorySearch.enabled setting to control whether GitLens scans workspace folders to discover Git repositories — when disabled, GitLens relies solely on VS Code's built-in Git/SCM integration to report when repositories are opened or closed
• Adds the ability to stash only the staged changes from the working changes (WIP) file list in the Commit Graph and Inspect view — when both staged and unstaged changes are present, the Stash action stashes only the staged changes by default (Alt-click to stash all)

Changed

• Improves graph selection reliability and performance
• Honors VS Code's scm.defaultViewSortKey setting when sorting working changes (WIP) file lists in the Commit Graph, while keeping unresolved conflicts at the top (#5289)
• Changes the Add as Co-author action in the Commit Graph to append the co-author to the graph's working changes (WIP) commit message box instead of writing to the Source Control input and switching to the Source Control view (#5294)
• Improves Commit Graph update performance by skipping redundant re-renders when content is structurally unchanged
• Improves performance in large workspaces by only watching a repository's working tree while its node is expanded in the views
• Improves resilience of GitHub requests by retrying transient gateway and network failures (502, 503, 504) with exponential backoff, restricted to idempotent reads
• Improves commit feedback and error handling when committing working changes (WIP) in the Commit Graph — locks inputs with a spinner during commits and surfaces classified, actionable errors for signing, pre-commit hook, and conflict failures (#5290)
• Improves how partially staged (mixed) files are counted and displayed in the Commit Graph file tree badges (#5291)
• Improves resilience when VS Code updates GitLens in the background — surfaces an actionable Reload Window prompt when a lazily-loaded feature can no longer be found, instead of a cryptic error
• Changes the Apply Stash command labels to Apply / Pop Stash across the command palette, view context menus, Commit Graph, and tooltips to clarify that both apply and pop are available

Fixed

• Fixes opening the Commit Graph in multi root workspace to the correct repo (#5276)
• Fixes commit signing not being detec...

    • Adds comprehensive context menu support for worktrees in the sidebar and Commit Graph — brings feature parity with branches, including Reveal in File Explorer, AI-powered actions (explain WIP, generate changelog), Open in Terminal, and Copy Path
  • Adds an all new way to manage worktrees and working changes (WIP)
    • Changes working changes (WIP) rows to always be visible regardless of whether or not there are uncommitted changes
      • When there are uncommitted changes, the Details Panel now allows you to review, stage, and commit your changes, or leverage the all-new Compose and Review modes to have AI review and automatically compose your changes into a set of well-structured commits
      • When there are no uncommitted, the Details Panel transforms into a hub to guide you to the next steps — like pulling, pushing, drafting a PR, reviewing, recomposing, etc. Everything to help you get your changes merged faster (#5218)
    • Adds support for working changes (WIP) rows from secondary worktrees
      • Selecting a WIP rows provides file actions, conflict resolution, and live-updating stats for non-active worktrees, plus Open in Integrated Terminal and Open Worktree in New Window actions on the header

• Fixes an issue where the status bar blame does not appear after updating to v17.12.0+ — regression in v17.12.0 (#5160)
• Fixes an issue where commit tooltips and hovers can render with corrupted tokens (literal __ around the author, missing mailto links, missing italic wrappers on dates, stale token suffixes) when an async formatter call is interleaved by a concurrent formatter call — async template resolution now uses a fresh formatter instance so in-flight token resolution can't be poisoned by a reset from another call

• Improves merge base retrieval for paused cherry-pick and revert operations to provide better context during conflict resolution

Fixed
