  • fixed: work around the parsing bug in git patch-id v2.46.1 (reported by @ilai-deutel)

  • changed: no longer publish Docker images

New in git-machete 3.29.1

New in git-machete 3.29.0

  • fixed: PR author is now always added to annotation if different from current user (contributed by @guyboltonking)

New in git-machete 3.20.0

  • added: git machete github create-pr adds a comment linking the PR to its base PR; github retarget-pr keeps that comment up to date (suggested by @guyboltonking)
