Released on February 25, 2026, ghprmerge v0.1.1 is a refinement release focused on improving operational efficiency and modernizing the project’s foundation. This update ensures that the tool remains lean and performant as organizations scale their repository management.

What’s new

The centerpiece of this release is the optimization of archived repository handling. Instead of processing these repositories and only discovering they are read-only during the merge phase, ghprmerge now filters them out at the very beginning of the listing stage.

Alongside this logic improvement, the project has been upgraded to Go 1.26.0, ensuring compatibility with the latest language features and performance improvements. Additionally, we have completely overhauled our documentation infrastructure, transitioning to a Jekyll-based site to provide a more seamless and accessible experience for our users.

Why it matters

For maintainers managing dozens or hundreds of repositories, every second counts. By skipping archived repositories immediately, ghprmerge reduces unnecessary API calls and processing overhead, leading to faster execution times.

The upgrade to Go 1.26.0 keeps the tool aligned with the modern Go ecosystem, while the new documentation structure means that installation guides and usage examples are now easier to navigate and maintain.

Getting started with v0.1.1

Updating to the latest version is straightforward. You can download the pre-compiled binaries for Windows, macOS, or Linux directly from our GitHub releases page. If you prefer to build from source, please ensure you are using Go 1.26.0.
