v2.2.0

Minor Changes

• 1c9ecc7: Add --source flag to branch and multi-branch commands to split changes directly from an existing branch or PR without manual staging. Add --pr-body flag to branch and multi-branch for custom PR body text that overrides the repo's PR template.

v2.1.0

Minor Changes

• 9dab921: Add --dry-run and --json flags for all major commands

  New Features

  • --dry-run flag — Available on branch, multi-branch, and extract commands. Shows a complete preview of what would happen (files, branches, commit messages, settings) without performing any git operations.

  • --json flag — Available on list, branch, multi-branch, and extract commands. Outputs machine-readable JSON to stdout and suppresses all human-readable log messages. Works with both normal execution and --dry-run mode.

  Details

  • list --json: Outputs { command, files, filters } or { command, grouped, filters } when used with --group
  • branch --dry-run: Shows owner, branch name, branch existence, commit message, matched/excluded files, and push/PR/flag settings
  • branch --json: Outputs branch result with success status, files, push state, and PR info
  • multi-branch --dry-run: Shows per-owner breakdown (branch, message, files), uncovered files, unowned files, and summary totals
  • multi-branch --json: Outputs aggregate results with per-owner success/failure details
  • extract --dry-run: Shows source, compare target, files to extract, excluded files, and filter settings
  • extract --json: Outputs extracted file list and source metadata
  • Silent mode suppresses all console.log/warn/error output when --json is active; JSON is written via saved original console.log
  • pushBranch in git.ts supports a silent option to switch stdio from "inherit" to "pipe", preventing output leaks during JSON mode
  • recover command is intentionally excluded from both flags (interactive with prompts)

v2.0.2

Patch Changes

• 0390ed2: fix: branch command incorrectly pushes all files

v2.0.1

Patch Changes

• 2258f4b: Update readme

v2.0.0

Major Changes

• 3b6a133: list and recover command enhancements

  Breaking Changes

  • All commands: Now work on staged files instead of unstaged files. Stage your changes with git add before running commands.
  • list command: Removed -o, --owner flag - use --include instead for owner filtering
  • branch command: Renamed -o, --owner to -i, --include for consistency with other commands
  • extract command: Renamed -o, --owner to -i, --include for consistency with other commands
  • Path patterns: Changed from comma-separated to micromatch brace expansion syntax
    • Before: packages,apps (comma-separated)
    • After: {packages,apps} (brace expansion)

  New Features

  • list command: Added [pattern] positional argument for path filtering (consistent with branch and multi-branch)
  • list command: Added --group, -g flag to group files by code owner
  • list, branch, multi-branch, extract commands: Added --exclusive, -e flag to only include files where the owner is the sole owner (excludes co-owned files)
  • list, branch, multi-branch, extract commands: Added --co-owned, -c flag to only include files with multiple owners (co-owned files)
  • extract command: Added [pattern] positional argument for path filtering (consistent with other commands)
  • Path patterns: Full micromatch/glob syntax support including *, **, ?, [...], {...}

Minor Changes

• c51b9c0: Add path filtering support for branch and multi-branch commands

  • New optional [pattern] positional argument for branch and multi-branch commands
  • Filter files using micromatch patterns (e.g., packages, src/**/*.tsx, packages,apps)
  • Directory names automatically expand to include all files (e.g., packages → packages/**)
  • Supports comma-separated patterns for multiple directories

v1.8.0

Minor Changes

• fca1a4d: Add graceful error handling with state tracking and recovery

  This release introduces a comprehensive error handling system that prevents users from being stuck in a limbo state when operations fail:

  New Features:

  • State Tracking: Every operation is tracked with a unique UUID in ~/.codeowners-git/state/ (user's home directory)
  • Recovery Command: New recover command to clean up and return to original state after failures
    • recover --list: List all incomplete operations
    • recover --auto: Automatically recover most recent operation
    • recover --id <uuid>: Recover specific operation
    • recover --keep-branches: Keep created branches during recovery
  • Graceful Shutdown: Signal handlers (SIGINT/SIGTERM) provide recovery instructions on interruption
  • Enhanced Error Messages: Clear recovery instructions shown when operations fail

  Improvements:

  • Operations tracked through all stages (creating-branch, committing, pushing, creating-pr)
  • Automatic cleanup on success (state files deleted)
  • Smart cleanup on failure (return to original branch, optional branch deletion)
  • State persists across crashes for reliable recovery
  • Detailed per-branch status tracking (created, committed, pushed, PR created, errors)

  Breaking Changes: None

  Users can now confidently recover from any error scenario (network failures, process crashes, user interruptions) using the new recover command.

• fca1a4d: Add extract command to copy file changes from source branches/commits

  New extract command allows you to:

  • Extract changed files from any branch or commit to your working directory (unstaged)
  • Filter extracted files by codeowner using micromatch patterns (@team-*)
  • Automatically detect merge-base or compare against main branch
  • Review and modify extracted files before committing

  Common workflow:

  # Extract files from another branch
  cg extract -s feature/other-team -o "@my-team"
  
  # Then use branch command to commit
  cg branch -o @my-team -b my-branch -m "Extracted changes" -p --pr

  This is useful for cherry-picking changes from colleague's branches or copying work between feature branches.
