v0.41.0

v0.41.0 — Rebase Fully Native + LFS Read-Only

Major milestone: rebase is now fully native (GPG signing excepted). Combined with LFS read-only support, log enhancements, and core.hooksPath, bit can self-host its own development without delegating to system git for daily operations.

Highlights

Git LFS Read-Only (v0.40.0-v0.40.1)

• Native LFS pointer resolution — no git-lfs binary needed
• Batch download with 8 concurrent connections
• SHA-256 integrity verification, SSRF protection, size validation
• Local cache at .git/lfs/objects/ (git-lfs compatible layout)

Interactive Rebase — Complete Native Implementation (v0.40.2-v0.41.0)

• All commands: pick, reword, edit, squash, fixup, drop, exec, break, label, reset, merge
• All flags: --autosquash, --exec/-x, --autostash, --keep-empty, --edit-todo, --show-current-patch, --update-refs, --root, --strategy/-X, --rebase-merges
• Injectable editor architecture: library accepts (String) -> String? callbacks
• GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR / EDITOR support
• t3404: 129/132 tests pass (97.7%)

Log Enhancements (v0.40.3-v0.40.4)

• --graph: branch visualization
• --stat: diffstat output
• --name-only / --name-status: file change listing
• --topo-order / --date-order / --author-date-order: commit sorting
• -- <path>: pathspec filtering

Self-Hosting (v0.40.3)

• core.hooksPath config support — .githooks/pre-commit works natively
• bit can now develop itself without system git for daily workflow

Breaking Changes

None.

Stats

• 108 native commands
• 973 git test suite tests passing
• 43/43 E2E tests passing
• 4 releases in this series (v0.40.0 → v0.41.0)

v0.40.4

Delegate → Native migration

Major push to reduce fallback to system git. Most daily-use features now run natively.

log

• --name-only / --name-status: show changed file paths with status
• --topo-order / --date-order / --author-date-order: commit sort orders
• -- <path>: pathspec filtering (git log -- src/lib/)

rebase

• --autostash: stash dirty worktree before rebase, apply after completion
• --keep-empty / --no-keep-empty: accepted (bit keeps empty commits by default)
• --edit-todo: re-edit todo list of in-progress interactive rebase
• exec / break commands in interactive rebase
• --exec / -x flag: insert exec after every pick
• Empty todo exits with proper error code
• Exec checks working tree cleanness after execution

Other

• core.hooksPath config support for hook execution
• t3404 interactive rebase: 129/132 tests pass (97.7%)

v0.40.3

What's New

Interactive Rebase: exec/break commands

• exec / x: run shell commands during rebase (stops on non-zero exit)
• break / b: pause rebase, resume with --continue
• --exec "cmd" / -x "cmd" flag: insert exec after every pick
• Exec checks working tree cleanness after execution

core.hooksPath support

• bit now reads core.hooksPath from git config for hook execution
• Supports absolute and relative paths
• Self-hosting complete: .githooks/pre-commit works with git config core.hooksPath .githooks

log --graph and --stat enabled

• git log --graph and git log --stat now run natively (previously delegated to system git)

t3404 compatibility

• Interactive rebase: 129/132 tests pass (97.7%)
• Empty todo list exits with proper error
• Exec validates tree cleanness after command execution

v0.40.2

What's New

Interactive Rebase (rebase -i)

bit now natively handles rebase -i without delegating to system git. The editor interaction is injectable — library layer accepts callbacks, command layer uses GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR / EDITOR.

• Supported commands: pick, reword, edit, squash, fixup, drop
• Autosquash: --autosquash flag and rebase.autoSquash config for fixup!/squash! commits
• Editor injection: GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR for todo editing, GIT_EDITOR for commit messages
• Programmatic API: library layer accepts (String) -> String? callbacks for non-interactive use (CI, AI agents, MCP tools)
• State recovery: --continue, --abort, --skip all work with interactive rebase state

v0.40.1

Security Fixes

• SHA-256 integrity verification on downloaded LFS objects — reject tampered content
• SSRF protection — validate LFS download URLs are HTTP(S) only, filter forwarded headers
• Size verification on LFS downloads
• Path traversal protection in cross-repo issue references

Bug Fixes

• Fix rebase -i standalone error message (was silently failing)
• Fix signed commit test expectation (bit now handles -S natively)
• Sync npm package version to 0.40.0

v0.40.0

What's New

Git LFS Read-Only Support

bit can now clone and checkout repositories that use git LFS. LFS pointer files are automatically resolved to their actual content — no git-lfs binary required.

• Native LFS implementation — bit handles LFS directly, no external dependency
• Batch prefetch — walks the target tree before checkout, downloads all LFS objects in parallel (8 concurrent)
• Transparent checkout — LFS pointer blobs are replaced with real content during worktree write
• LFS URL resolution — supports lfs.url, remote.<name>.lfsurl, or derives from remote URL
• Local cache — downloaded objects stored in .git/lfs/objects/ (compatible with git-lfs layout)

Scope: Read-only (clone/checkout). Write operations (push/clean) are not yet supported.

Cross-Repo Issue References

• Link issues across local repositories using owner/repo#id format
• Working set management (bit issue start/stop/active)
• Repository aliases for frequently-referenced repos

GitHub Issue Sync (Read-Only)

• Pull issues, PRs, and comments from GitHub to local bit issue store
• Sync status tracking via SyncLink records
• Write operations disabled by default (safety gate via BIT_GITHUB_SYNC_WRITE=1)
