3.3.0

2020-06-11

• Functional Changes

  • New colors: no repeats, and readable for both white and black backgrounds
  • Don't generate colored output if terminal is not a tty
  • Screen width is now considered the maximum width, not the required width
  • When in detached head state, branch name is output from git describe rather than just "DETACHED HEAD"

• New Features

  • New commandline options:
    --color
--no-color
--max-width
--no-optional-locks
  • gmon script to run gitsummary.py in a loop
  • gitsummaryShellHelper.sh -- a tool for getting git information for your shell prompt

• Other Changes

  • Redundant calls to git have been removed, resulting in a significant performance increase for large repositories

• Known Issues

  • Python doesn't think mintty is a tty thus:
    • gitsummary produces no color (you can use --color to force color)
    • gitsummary doesn't truncate any output lines (you can use --max-width N to specify the width to use)

• New Features:

  • New section "Unmerged" (and the corresponding --custom section 'unmerged')
