What's New
In this Wappler update we have done further development in our new Git manager to make it more feature complete and rock solid.
Also the Wappler Tours & Docs are now covering the new Git Manager with a full set of tours for real-world history inspection, branching, remote sync, recovery, and working-style workflows, so you can learn how to use Git effectively in Wappler with practical guidance and examples.
Furthermore we have fixed some issues as reported by the community, and also improved the docs search experience.
Wappler Tours
- Added a full Git Manager tour set for real-world history inspection, branching, remote sync, recovery, and working-style workflows.
- Added dedicated tours for Git history/details, branches and merges, remotes and sync, recovery/undo, and different Git working styles.
- Expanded the start and hub tours so users can now enter Git learning from overview, quick overview, recipes, and focused deep-dive paths.
- Improved the quick overview and overview tours so they better introduce the Git Manager layout, key UI areas, and where each Git task starts.
- Improved the daily workflow and how-to tours so they guide users more clearly through practical Git tasks instead of only describing concepts.
- Strengthened the history/details tour to show the difference between uncommitted work and recorded commits, including how selecting each changes the lower details area.
- Improved the reference tour so it explains the current Git Manager UI more completely, including history behavior, detail workspaces, and commit inspection flow.
- Added clearer guidance for commit inspection so users can understand what a selected commit contains, which files belong to it, and how to read the commit summary and file details.
- Added better coverage for branching and merging workflows, including feature-branch usage and when to merge work back safely.
- Added clearer remote workflow coverage so users understand pull/push syncing, remotes as collaboration points, and remotes as off-machine backup.
- Added clearer recovery guidance so users can understand safer undo and restore options before making destructive Git decisions.
- Added working-style guidance for both solo backup-oriented Git use and team feature-branch collaboration workflows.
- Improved the Git Manager tours to better match the current
wui-list-based UI and its visible selection-driven behavior. - Fixed tour-driven history selection so row selection is now stable and deterministic, avoiding unreliable repeated simulated clicks.
- Improved the tours so the details below the history list now reflect actual row selection changes more reliably during guided playback.
- Revalidated the Git Manager tour set with schema checks, repo-level tour validation, and strict live runtime validation.
- Added more explanation of the basic and advanced veiws of the new Git manager
