<p>Hello everyone, <br>
<br>
We are extremely proud to announce the release for <b>version
5.0.1</b> of the <b>Git Client add-on</b>! <br>
<br>
With the latest version of the Git Client Add-on, we expanded its
functionality even further with various improvements, such as: <br>
<br>
* A new Validate each file before committing option was added in
the Git Client preferences page. Selecting this option enables
automatic validation of each file before each commit. <br>
* A new Validate all files from the project's "Main Files" folder
before pushing option was added in the Git Client preferences
page. Selecting this option enables automatic validation of the
files located in the Main Files folder before the push operation
processes. <br>
* The integrated JGit library was upgraded to version 6.3, which
brings support for ssh-agent forwarding. <br>
* An option has been added that automatically detects Oxygen
projects from opened working copies to quickly open them in the
Project View. <br>
* Added a Squash merge "SELECTED_BRANCH" into "CURRENT_BRANCH"
action in the contextual menu for local branches in the Git Branch
Manager. This will add all changes from the "SELECTED_BRANCH" to
the "CURRENT_BRANCH" in a single new commit. <br>
* By default, the History view presents commits from all branches
(both remote and local). <br>
* Tags can be deleted even if they have already been pushed to the
remote repository. <br>
* If the local branch has not been published yet, the push button
will be decorated with a + symbol and will have a tool-tip to
explain the context. <br>
* A more helpful message is displayed when pulling and the local
branch doesn't track a remote. <br>
* In tree view mode, if there are no changes, the empty folder
with the name of the repository will no longer be displayed. <br>
* The Git Staging view now has a busy cursor when an operation is
in progress. <br>
* Fixed an issue when authentication tokens were lost from
options. <br>
* Some dialogues have been improved to make them easier to
understand. <br>
* Bug fixes and performance improvements. <br>
<br>
<br>

actions.<br>
