Released: Feb 11, 2026

Updates in GitLens for VS Code V17.10

Funktionen

• Added support for AI ignore files (.aiignore, .cursorignore, .aiexclude) and gitlens.ai.exclude.files setting to filter sensitive data from AI prompts, and smart diff truncation that prioritizes dropping low-value files when prompts exceed token limits.
• Added conversation threading to Commit Composer auto-compose for improved outcomes.
• Added an option to filter tree views to exclude worktrees, allowing users to show all repositories except worktrees whose main repository is also open.
• Added commit signature verification with support for GPG, SSH, and X.509 formats:
  • Added verification badges and detailed tooltips to the Commit Details and Graph Details views.
  • Added signature indicator icon to inline blame hovers.
  • Added ${signature} token to default commit and status tooltip formats in views and the Commit Graph.
• Added a "Filter Repositories..." command to the Branches, Commits, Contributors, Remotes, Stashes, Tags, and Worktrees views to filter to all repos, all repos excluding worktrees, or specific repos.
• Added a refresh button to the Interactive Rebase Editor toolbar to manually refresh the rebase state.
• Significantly improved performance and reduced overhead, especially with worktrees:
  • Improved performance when opening repositories with worktrees by sharing cached Git data across them.
  • Improved responsiveness by adding priority-based Git process scheduling and smarter repository discovery.
  • Added a gitlens.advanced.git.maxConcurrentProcesses setting to specify the maximum number of background Git processes that can run concurrently.
  • Improved file system event handling performance by optimizing Git ignore rule processing.
  • Improved view update performance by skipping refreshes for hidden views and preventing unnecessary auto-expand with multiple repositories.
  • Moved GitLens-specific metadata (merge targets, issues, activity) to a dedicated .git/gk/config file to avoid modifying .git/config.
  • Eliminated unnecessary Git repository change events previously triggered by metadata updates.
  • Improved stash loading performance by deferring file detail loading (requires the gitlens.advanced.commits.delayLoadingFileDetails setting to be enabled).
• Improved commit message instructions in Commit Composer auto-compose for better consistency.
• Overhauled Git Command Palette quick wizards with scope-based progress tracking and modular sub-commands for branch, stash, remote, tag, and worktree operations.
• Improved worktree naming for detached states by including the folder name for better context.
• Excluded worktrees from repository pickers in commands where selecting a worktree would be inappropriate.
• Prevented repositories from automatically opening when an opened file is git-ignored.
• Stopped creating new GitHub sessions via VS Code built-in authentication; new connections now always use the GKDev flow, while existing built-in sessions are still used if available.
