Release notes

Emdash v1.2.11

This release improves Git authentication, Windows compatibility, and SSH responsiveness. It also reduces background fetch overhead, fixes pane shortcuts after switching tasks, and adds an in-app signup for Emdash 2.0 early access.

Highlights
  • The project's Git credentials setting now applies to Emdash's own local Git operations, including push, pull, and fetch. Choosing System uses the machine's credentials, while an account explicitly selected for an operation still takes precedence.
  • Join the Emdash 2.0 waitlist directly from the sidebar, with your email and an optional note about your team or workflow. The card can be dismissed for the current release.
Fixes
  • Commit & Push and other Git network operations on Windows authenticate correctly through the connected account, fixing failures where pushing from a terminal worked but pushing from Emdash did not.
  • Agent hooks on Windows run correctly when launched through Git Bash, including Claude Code hooks. Prompt and assistant text passed to hooks is no longer misinterpreted as shell commands.
  • Windows builds resolve the bundled SSH dependency correctly, fixing a module-loading error reported in v1.2.10.
  • SSH connections send handshake and interactive traffic without waiting for TCP buffering, improving responsiveness when connecting to and working on remote machines.
  • Background Git fetches wait after the previous fetch finishes and back off when a repository is slow. Fetches also avoid unnecessary metadata writes and automatic maintenance, reducing disk work and contention with other Git operations.
  • Self-hosted Git integrations correctly match remotes that use custom HTTP or HTTPS ports, including Forgejo instances.
  • Pane shortcuts remain active after switching tasks or projects when a terminal or input has already received focus.
