GitBrancher 2.0.0 marks a major leap in capabilities, user experience, and architecture.
This release introduces modern authentication with GitHub OAuth, AI-powered Pull Request analysis, advanced interactive visualization, and a more consistent and robust CLI experience.

This is a MAJOR release and includes significant behavioral changes.

Key New Features

AI-Powered Pull Request Analysis

  • New pr analyze command with intelligent impact analysis.

  • Support for:

    • --ai (standard analysis)
    • --ai-full (in-depth analysis)

  • Detailed insights per file, affected dependencies, and change context.

  • Standardized and consistent analysis sections across CLI and HTML output.

Advanced Interactive Visualization

  • Automatic generation of interactive HTML visualizations.

  • Impact graph featuring:

    • Automatic base branch detection (main/master).
    • Inline diff with syntax highlighting and quick copy.
    • Detailed view of affected files and dependencies with line numbers.

  • Additional export to Mermaid.

  • Modernized UI with a details panel, interactive legend, and improved navigation.

Modern Authentication with GitHub OAuth

  • Traditional email/password login has been removed.

  • New 100% GitHub OAuth authentication flow:

    • Automatic browser launch.
    • Local HTTP server to capture the OAuth callback.
    • Automatic token capture (no copy/paste required).

  • New --token parameter for manual or automated workflows.

  • Styled success/error pages displayed during the login process.

AI Credits System

  • New credits command to check the available balance.

  • Automatic credit consumption when running AI analysis:

    • --ai → 1 credit
    • --ai-full → 3 credits

  • Pre-validation of available credits before executing analysis.

  • Clear messaging showing before/after balances and upgrade suggestions for free-tier users.

More Consistent CLI Experience

  • Global replacement of emojis with text-based status indicators:

    • [SUCCESS], [ERROR], [WARNING], [AI], [NOTE], etc.

  • Output that is more compatible with all terminals, CI/CD environments, and logs.

  • Consistent behavior across commands (login, register, info, credits, pr analyze, etc.).

Technical Changes and Internal Improvements

  • Integrated local HTTP server for OAuth callbacks.
  • Removal of legacy branch name validation test suite.
  • Standardization of analysis headers and sections.
  • Improved separation between CLI logic, visualization, and backend.
  • Foundation prepared for plans, limits, and future AI extensions.

Breaking Changes

  • Email/password authentication has been removed.
  • AI-powered analysis requires authentication.
  • Some commands now automatically open the browser.
  • CLI output format has changed (emojis → text).

If you were using previous versions:

  • You will need to sign in again with GitHub.
  • Scripts that relied on emoji-based output may require updates.
