2026-02-19hook: allow disabling config hooksAdrian Ratiu
Hooks specified via configs are always enabled, however users might want to disable them without removing from the config, like locally disabling a global hook. Add a hook.<name>.enabled config which defaults to true and can be optionally set for each configured hook.

2026-02-19hook: include hooks from the configAdrian Ratiu
Teach the hook.[hc] library to parse configs to populate the list of hooks to run for a given event. Multiple commands can be specified for a given hook by providing "hook.<friendly-name>.command = <path-to-hook>" and "hook.<friendly-name>.event = <hook-event>" lines. Hooks will be started in config order of the "hook.<name>.event" lines and will be run sequentially (.jobs == 1) like before. Running the hooks in parallel will be enabled in a future patch. The "traditional" hook from the hookdir is run last, if present. A strmap cache is added to struct repository to avoid re-reading the configs on each rook run. This is useful for hooks like the ref-transaction which gets executed multiple times per process. Examples: $ git config --get-regexp "^hook\." hook.bar.command=~/bar.sh hook.bar.event=pre-commit # Will run ~/bar.sh, then .git/hooks/pre-commit $ git hook run pre-commit Signed-off-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Ratiu <adrian.ratiu@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-02-19hook: add "git hook list" commandEmily Shaffer
The previous commit introduced an ability to run multiple commands for hook events and next commit will introduce the ability to define hooks from configs, in addition to the "traditional" hooks from the hookdir. Introduce a new command "git hook list" to make inspecting hooks easier both for users and for the tests we will add. Further commits will expand on this, e.g. by adding a -z output mode.

2026-02-19wt-status: avoid passing NULL worktreePhillip Wood
In preparation for removing the repository argument from worktree_git_path() add a function to construct a "struct worktree" from a "struct repository" using its "gitdir" and "worktree" members. This function is then used to avoid passing a NULL worktree to wt_status_check_bisect() and wt_status_check_rebase(). In general the "struct worktree" returned may not correspond to the "current" worktree defined by is_current_worktree() as that function uses "the_repository" rather than "wt->repo" when deciding which worktree is "current". In practice the "struct repository" we pass corresponds to "the_repository" as we only ever operate on a single repository at the moment. wt_status_check_bisect() and wt_status_check_rebase() have the following callers: - branch.c:prepare_checked_out_branches() which loops over all worktrees. - worktree.c:is_worktree_being_rebased() which is called from builtin/branch.c:reject_rebase_or_bisect_branch() that loops over all worktrees and worktree.c:is_shared_symref() which dereferences wt earlier in the function. - wt-status:wt_status_get_state() which is updated to avoid passing a NULL worktree by this patch. This updates the only callers that pass a NULL worktree to worktree_git_path(). A new test is added to check that "git status" detects a rebase in a linked worktree.

2026-02-19pack-bitmap: fix bug with exact ref match in "pack.preferBitmapTips"Patrick Steinhardt
The "pack.preferBitmapTips" configuration allows the user to specify which references should be preferred when generating bitmaps. This option is typically expected to be set to a reference prefix, like for example "refs/heads/". It's not unreasonable though for a user to configure one specific reference as preferred. But if they do, they'll hit a `BUG()`: $ git -c pack.preferBitmapTips=refs/heads/main repack -adb BUG: ../refs/iterator.c:366: attempt to trim too many characters error: pack-objects died of signal 6 The root cause for this bug is how we enumerate these references. We call `refs_for_each_ref_in()`, which will: - Yield all references that have a user-specified prefix. - Trim each of these references so that the prefix is removed. Typically, this function is called with a trailing slash, like "refs/heads/", and in that case things work alright. But if the function is called with the name of an existing reference then we'll try to trim the full reference name, which would leave us with an empty name. And as this would not really leave us with anything sensible, we call `BUG()` instead of yielding this reference. One could argue that this is a bug in `refs_for_each_ref_in()`. But the question then becomes what the correct behaviour would be: - Do we want to skip exact matches? In our case we certainly don't want that, as the user has asked us to generate a bitmap for it. - Do we want to yield the reference with the empty refname? That would lead to a somewhat weird result. Neither of these feel like viable options, so calling `BUG()` feels like a sensible way out. The root cause ultimately is that we even try to trim the whole refname in the first place. There are two possible ways to fix this issue: - We can fix the bug by using `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` instead, which does not strip the prefix at all. Consequently, we would now start to accept all references that start with the configured prefix, including exact matches. So if we had "refs/heads/main", we would both match "refs/heads/main" and "refs/heads/main-branch". - Or we can fix the bug by appending a slash to the prefix if it doesn't already have one. This would mean that we only match ref hierarchies that start with this prefix. While the first fix leaves the user with strictly _more_ configuration options, we have already fixed a similar case in 10e8a9352b (refs.c: stop matching non-directory prefixes in exclude patterns, 2025-03-06) by using the second option. So for the sake of consistency, let's apply the same fix here. Clarify the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-02-19meson: fix MERGE_TOOL_DIR with "--no-bin-wrappers"Patrick Steinhardt
On Windows, we execute tests with "--no-bin-wrappers". This has been introduced via a87e427e35 (ci: speed up Windows phase, 2019-01-29) to save some time: spawning processes is expensive on Windows, and shell scripts tend to spawn a bunch of them. So overall, the bin-wrappers led to a performance overhead of ~10-30%. This causes test failures when using Meson on Windows: failure: t7610.28 mergetool --tool-help shows recognized tools ++ git mergetool --tool-help /d/a/git/git/build/git-mergetool--lib: line 45: cd: D:/a/git/git/build/mergetools: No such file or directory The root cause here is that our bin-wrappers are usually responsible for setting up the `MERGE_TOOL_DIR` environment variable so that we can locate these scripts. But as we don't use the bin-wrappers, we'll instead use the default location for merge tools, which is derived from `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. And as `GIT_EXEC_PATH` points to our build directory, which won't ever contain any of the merge tools, we will fail to locate any of the merge tools. This issue has went unnoticed for a long time given that we only skip bin-wrappers on Windows, and because the CI jobs on Windows didn't execute due to a bug. Fix the issue by always setting the `MERGE_TOOL_DIR` environment variable to the correct directory. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-02-19ci: don't skip smallest test slice in GitLabPatrick Steinhardt
The "ci/run-test-slice.sh" script can be used to slice up all of our tests into N pieces and then run each of them on a separate CI job. This is used by both GitLab and GitHub CI to speed up Windows tests, which would otherwise be painfully slow. The infra itself is fueled by `test-tool path-utils slice-tests`. This tool receives as input an "offset" and a "stride" that can be combined to slice up tests. This framing can be misleading though: you are expected to pass a zero-based index as "offset", and the complete number of slices to the "stride". The latter makes sense, but it is somewhat surprising that the offset needs to be zero-based. And this is in fact biting us: while GitHub passes zero-based indices, GitLab passes `$CI_NODE_INDEX`, which is a one-based indice. Ideally, we should have verification that the parameters make sense. And naturally, one would for example expect that it's an error to call the binary with an offset larger than the stride. But with the current framing as "offset" it's not even wrong to do so, as it is of course well-defined to start at a larger offset than the stride. This means that we get this wrong on GitLab's CI, as we pass a one based index there, and this causes us to skip one of the tests. Interestingly, it's not the lexicographically first test that we skip. Instead, as we sort tests by size before slicing them, we skip the _smallest_ test. Reframe the problem to instead talk about "slice number" and "total number of slices". For all of our use cases this is semantically equivalent, but it allows us to perform some verifications: - The total number of slices must be greater than 1. - The selected slice must be between 1 <= nr <= slices_total. As the indices are now one-based it means that GitLab's CI is fixed. The GitHub workflow is updated accordingly.

2026-02-19alias: support non-alphanumeric names via subsection syntaxJonatan Holmgren
Git alias names are limited to ASCII alphanumeric characters and dashes because aliases are implemented as config variable names. This prevents aliases being created in languages using characters outside that range. Add support for arbitrary alias names by using config subsections: [alias "förgrena"] command = branch The subsection name is matched as-is (case-sensitive byte comparison), while the existing definition without a subsection (e.g., "[alias] co = checkout") remains case-insensitive for backward compatibility. This uses existing config infrastructure since subsections already support arbitrary bytes, and avoids introducing Unicode normalization. Also teach the help subsystem about the new syntax so that "git help -a" properly lists subsection aliases and the autocorrect feature can suggest them. Use utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for column alignment so that non-ASCII alias names display correctly.

Consolidate by teaching list_aliases() to also store the alias values (via the string_list util field), then use it in list_all_cmds_help_aliases() instead of the private callback.

2026-02-17fetch-pack: wire up and enable auto filter logicChristian Couder
Previous commits have set up an infrastructure for `--filter=auto` to automatically prepare a partial clone filter based on what the server advertised and the client accepted. Using that infrastructure, let's now enable the `--filter=auto` option in `git clone` and `git fetch` by setting `allow_auto_filter` to 1. Note that these small changes mean that when `git clone --filter=auto` or `git fetch --filter=auto` are used, "auto" is automatically saved as the partial clone filter for the server on the client. Therefore subsequent calls to `git fetch` on the client will automatically use this "auto" mode even without `--filter=auto`. Let's also set `allow_auto_filter` to 1 in `transport.c`, as the transport layer must be able to accept the "auto" filter spec even if the invoking command hasn't fully parsed it yet. When an "auto" filter is requested, let's have the "fetch-pack.c" code in `do_fetch_pack_v2()` compute a filter and send it to the server. In `do_fetch_pack_v2()` the logic also needs to check for the "promisor-remote" capability and call `promisor_remote_reply()` to parse advertised remotes and populate the list of those accepted (and their filters).

2026-02-17list-objects-filter-options: support 'auto' mode for --filterChristian Couder
In a following commit, we are going to allow passing "auto" as a <filterspec> to the `--filter=<filterspec>` option, but only for some commands. Other commands that support the `--filter=<filterspec>` option should still die() when 'auto' is passed. Let's set up the "list-objects-filter-options.{c,h}" infrastructure to support that: - Add a new `unsigned int allow_auto_filter : 1;` flag to `struct list_objects_filter_options` which specifies if "auto" is accepted or not by the current command. - Change gently_parse_list_objects_filter() to parse "auto" if it's accepted. - Make sure we die() if "auto" is combined with another filter. - Update list_objects_filter_release() to preserve the allow_auto_filter flag, as this function is often called (via opt_parse_list_objects_filter) to reset the struct before parsing a new value. Let's also update `list-objects-filter.c` to recognize the new `LOFC_AUTO` choice. Since "auto" must be resolved to a concrete filter before filtering actually begins, initializing a filter with `LOFC_AUTO` is invalid and will trigger a BUG(). Note that ideally combining "auto" with "auto" could be allowed, but in practice, it's probably not worth the added code complexity. And if we really want it, nothing prevents us to allow it in future work. If we ever want to give a meaning to combining "auto" with a different filter too, nothing prevents us to do that in future work either. Also note that the new `allow_auto_filter` flag depends on the command, not user choices, so it should be reset to the command default when `struct list_objects_filter_options` instances are reset. While at it, let's add a new "u-list-objects-filter-options.c" file for `struct list_objects_filter_options` related unit tests. For now it only tests gently_parse_list_objects_filter() though.

2026-02-17promisor-remote: allow a client to store fieldsChristian Couder
A previous commit allowed a server to pass additional fields through the "promisor-remote" protocol capability after the "name" and "url" fields, specifically the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" fields. Another previous commit, c213820c51 (promisor-remote: allow a client to check fields, 2025-09-08), has made it possible for a client to decide if it accepts a promisor remote advertised by a server based on these additional fields. Often though, it would be interesting for the client to just store in its configuration files these additional fields passed by the server, so that it can use them when needed. For example if a token is necessary to access a promisor remote, that token could be updated frequently only on the server side and then passed to all the clients through the "promisor-remote" capability, avoiding the need to update it on all the clients manually. Storing the token on the client side makes sure that the token is available when the client needs to access the promisor remotes for a lazy fetch. To allow this, let's introduce a new "promisor.storeFields" configuration variable. Note that for a partial clone filter, it's less interesting to have it stored on the client. This is because a filter should be used right away and we already pass a `--filter=<filter-spec>` option to `git clone` when starting a partial clone. Storing the filter could perhaps still be interesting for information purposes. Like "promisor.checkFields" and "promisor.sendFields", the new configuration variable should contain a comma or space separated list of field names. Only the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" field names are supported for now. When a server advertises a promisor remote, for example "foo", along with for example "token=XXXXX" to a client, and on the client side "promisor.storeFields" contains "token", then the client will store XXXXX for the "remote.foo.token" variable in its configuration file and reload its configuration so it can immediately use this new configuration variable. A message is emitted on stderr to warn users when the config is changed. Note that even if "promisor.acceptFromServer" is set to "all", a promisor remote has to be already configured on the client side for some of its config to be changed. In any case no new remote is configured and no new URL is stored. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-02-17shallow: handling fetch relative-deepenSamo Pogačnik
When a shallowed repository gets deepened beyond the beginning of a merged branch, we may end up with some shallows that are hidden behind the reachable shallow commits. Added test 'fetching deepen beyond merged branch' exposes that behaviour. An example showing the problem based on added test: 0. Whole initial git repo to be cloned from Graph: * 033585d (HEAD -> main) Merge branch 'branch' |\ | * 984f8b1 (branch) five | * ecb578a four |/ * 0cb5d20 three * 2b4e70d two * 61ba98b one 1. Initial shallow clone --depth=3 (all good) Shallows: 2b4e70da2a10e1d3231a0ae2df396024735601f1 ecb578a3cf37198d122ae5df7efed9abaca17144 Graph: * 033585d (HEAD -> main) Merge branch 'branch' |\ | * 984f8b1 five | * ecb578a (grafted) four * 0cb5d20 three * 2b4e70d (grafted) two 2. Deepen shallow clone with fetch --deepen=1 (NOT OK) Shallows: 0cb5d204f4ef96ed241feb0f2088c9f4794ba758 61ba98be443fd51c542eb66585a1f6d7e15fcdae Graph: * 033585d (HEAD -> main) Merge branch 'branch' |\ | * 984f8b1 five | * ecb578a four |/ * 0cb5d20 (grafted) three --- Note that second shallow commit 61ba98be443fd51c542eb66585a1f6d7e15fcdae is not reachable. On the other hand, it seems that equivalent absolute depth driven fetches result in all the correct shallows. That led to this proposal, which unifies absolute and relative deepening in a way that the same get_shallow_commits() call is used in both cases. The difference is only that depth is adapted for relative deepening by measuring equivalent depth of current local shallow commits in the current remote repo. Thus a new function get_shallows_depth() has been added and the function get_reachable_list() became redundant / removed. Same example showing the corrected second step: 2. Deepen shallow clone with fetch --deepen=1 (all good) Shallow: 61ba98be443fd51c542eb66585a1f6d7e15fcdae Graph: * 033585d (HEAD -> main) Merge branch 'branch' |\ | * 984f8b1 five | * ecb578a four |/ * 0cb5d20 three * 2b4e70d two * 61ba98b (grafted) one The get_shallows_depth() function also shares the logic of the get_shallow_commits() function, but it focuses on counting depth of each existing shallow commit. The minimum result is stored as 'data->deepen_relative', which is set not to be zero for relative deepening anyway. That way we can always sum 'data->deepen_relative' and 'depth' values, because 'data->deepen_relative' is always 0 in absolute deepening. To avoid duplicating logic between get_shallows_depth() and get_shallow_commits(), get_shallow_commits() was modified so that it is used by get_shallows_depth().

2026-02-17add-patch: allow interfile navigation when selecting hunksAbraham Samuel Adekunle
After deciding on all hunks in a file, the interactive session advances automatically to the next file if there is another, or the process ends. Now using the `--no-auto-advance` flag with `--patch`, the process does not advance automatically. A user can choose to go to the next file by pressing '>' or the previous file by pressing '<', before or after deciding on all hunks in the current file. After all hunks have been decided in a file, the user can still rework with the file by applying the options available in the permit set for that hunk, and after all the decisions, the user presses 'q' to submit. After all hunks have been decided, the user can press '?' which will show the hunk selection summary in the help patch remainder text including the total hunks, number of hunks marked for use and number of hunks marked for skip.

2026-02-17builtin/history: replace "--ref-action=print" with "--dry-run"Patrick Steinhardt
The git-history(1) command has the ability to perform a dry-run that will not end up modifying any references. Instead, we'll only print any ref updates that would happen as a consequence of performing the operation. This mode is somewhat hidden though behind the "--ref-action=print" option. This command line option has its origin in git-replay(1), where it's probably an okayish interface as this command is sitting more on the plumbing side of tools. But git-history(1) is a user-facing tool, and this way of achieving a dry-run is way too technical and thus not very discoverable. Besides usability issues, it also has another issue: the dry-run mode will always operate as if the user wanted to rewrite all branches. But in fact, the user also has the option to only update the HEAD reference, and they might want to perform a dry-run of such an operation, too. We could of course introduce "--ref-action=print-head", but that would become even less ergonomic. Replace "--ref-action=print" with a new "--dry-run" toggle. This new toggle works with both "--ref-action={head,branches}" and is way more discoverable. Add a test to verify that both "--ref-action=" values behave as expected.

2026-02-14repo: rename the output format "keyvalue" to "lines"Lucas Seiki Oshiro
Both subcommands in git-repo(1) accept the "keyvalue" format. This format is newline-delimited, where the key is separated from the value with an equals sign. The name of this option is suboptimal though, as it is both too limiting while at the same time not really indicating what it actually does: - There is no mention of the format being newline-delimited, which is the key differentiator to the "nul" format. - Both "nul" and "keyvalue" have a key and a value, so the latter is not exactly giving any hint what makes it so special. - "keyvalue" requires there to be, well, a key and a value, but we want to add additional output that is only going to be newline delimited. Taken together, "keyvalue" is kind of a bad name for this output format. Luckily, the git-repo(1) command is still rather new and marked as experimental, so things aren't cast into stone yet. Rename the format to "lines" instead to better indicate that the major difference is that we'll get newline-delimited output. This new name will also be a better fit for a subsequent extension in git-repo(1).

2026-02-13t0213: add trace2 cmd_ancestry testsMatthew John Cheetham
Add a new test script t0213-trace2-ancestry.sh that verifies cmd_ancestry events across all three trace2 output formats (normal, perf, and event). The tests use the "400ancestry" test helper to spawn child processes with controlled trace2 environments. Git alias resolution (which spawns a child git process) creates a predictable multi-level process tree. Filter functions extract cmd_ancestry events from each format, truncating the ancestor list at the outermost "test-tool" so that only the controlled portion of the tree is verified, regardless of the test runner environment. A runtime prerequisite (TRACE2_ANCESTRY) is used to detect whether the platform has a real procinfo implementation; platforms with only the stub are skipped. We must pay attention to an extra ancestor on Windows (MINGW) when running without the bin-wrappers (such as we do in CI). In this situation we see an extra "sh.exe" ancestor after "test-tool.exe". Also update the comment in t0210-trace2-normal.sh to reflect that ancestry testing now has its own dedicated test script.

2026-02-13test-tool: extend trace2 helper with 400ancestryMatthew John Cheetham
Add a new test helper "400ancestry" to the trace2 test-tool that spawns a child process with a controlled trace2 environment, capturing only the child's trace2 output (including cmd_ancestry events) in isolation. The helper clears all inherited GIT_TRACE2* variables in the child and enables only the requested target (normal, perf, or event), directing output to a specified file. This gives the test suite a reliable way to capture cmd_ancestry events: the child always sees "test-tool" as its immediate parent in the process ancestry, providing a predictable value to verify in tests.

2026-02-11builtin/pack-objects: don't fetch objects when merging packsPatrick Steinhardt
The "--stdin-packs" option can be used to merge objects from multiple packfiles given via stdin into a new packfile. One big upside of this option is that we don't have to perform a complete rev walk to enumerate objects. Instead, we can simply enumerate all objects that are part of the specified packfiles, which can be significantly faster in very large repositories. There is one downside though: when we don't perform a rev walk we also don't have a good way to learn about the respective object's names. As a consequence, we cannot use the name hashes as a heuristic to get better delta selection. We try to offset this downside though by performing a localized rev walk: we queue all objects that we're about to repack as interesting, and all objects from excluded packfiles as uninteresting. We then perform a best-effort rev walk that allows us to fill in object names. There is one gotcha here though: when "--exclude-promisor-objects" has not been given we will perform backfill fetches for any promised objects that are missing. This used to not be an issue though as this option was mutually exclusive with "--stdin-packs". But that has changed recently, and starting with dcc9c7ef47 (builtin/repack: handle promisor packs with geometric repacking, 2026-01-05) we will now repack promisor packs during geometric compaction. The consequence is that a geometric repack may now perform a bunch of backfill fetches. We of course cannot pass "--exclude-promisor-objects" to fix this issue -- after all, the whole intent is to repack objects part of a promisor pack. But arguably we don't have to: the rev walk is intended as best effort, and we already configure it to ignore missing links to other objects. So we can adapt the walk to unconditionally disable fetching any missing objects. Do so and add a test that verifies we don't backfill any objects.

2026-02-09checkout: tell "parse_remote_branch" which command is calling itJunio C Hamano
When "git checkout <dwim>" and "git switch <dwim>" need to error out due to ambiguity of the branch name <dwim>, these two commands give an advise message with a sample command that tells the user how to disambiguate from the parse_remote_branch() function. The sample command hardcodes "git checkout", since this feature predates "git switch" by a large margin. To a user who said "git switch <dwim>" and got this message, it is confusing. Pass the "enum checkout_command", which was invented in the previous step for this exact purpose, down the call chain leading to parse_remote_branch() function to change the sample command shown to the user in this advise message. Also add a bit more test coverage for this "fail to DWIM under ambiguity" that we lack, as well as the message we produce when we fail.

2026-02-07repository: require Rust support for interoperabilitybrian m. carlson
We'll be implementing some of our interoperability code, like the loose object map, in Rust. While the code currently compiles with the old loose object map format, which is written entirely in C, we'll soon replace that with the Rust-based implementation. Require the use of Rust for compatibility mode and die if it is not supported. Because the repo argument is not used when Rust is missing, cast it to void to silence the compiler warning, which we do not care about. Add a prerequisite in our tests, RUST, that checks if Rust functionality is available and use it in the tests that handle interoperability. This is technically a regression in functionality compared to our existing state, but pack index v3 is not yet implemented and thus the functionality is mostly quite broken, which is why we've recently marked this functionality as experimental. We don't believe anyone is getting useful use out of the interoperability code in its current state, so no actual users should be negatively impacted by this change.

2026-02-06merge-ours: integrate with sparse-indexSam Bostock
The merge-ours built-in opens the index to compare it against HEAD. The machinery used to do this (i.e. run_diff_index()) is capable of working with a sparse index, but the start-up sequence of this command does not take the necessary steps, so we end up expanding the index fully before doing the comparison. In order to convince sparse-index.c:is_sparse_index_allowed() to return true, we need to: - Read basic configuration with git_default_config so that global variables like core_apply_sparse_checkout are populated. merge-ours currently does not read configuration at all. - Set command_requires_full_index to 0. With that, the command can work without expanding the index fully before doing its work. Signed-off-by: Sam Bostock <sam@sambostock.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
