Released on February 28, 2026, ghprmerge v0.2.0 introduces a significant overhaul of the terminal user interface. This release is all about clarity and efficiency, transforming how you track the automated merging and rebasing of pull requests across your organization.

What’s new

The centerpiece of this release is a complete redesign of the command-line experience to make it more modern and scannable.

  • Visual Progress Tracking: No more guessing if the tool is still working. A new progress bar now provides real-time feedback during the repository scanning phase.
  • Intuitive Status Symbols: We’ve replaced verbose text with color-coded Unicode symbols for instant recognition:
    • ✓ (Green) for successful merges.
    • ↻ (Yellow) for successful rebases.
    • ✗ (Red) for failures.
  • Condensed Execution Summary: Instead of hunting through logs, you now get a concise, single-line summary at the end of every run, detailing exactly how many repositories were scanned and how many PRs were merged, rebased, or skipped.
  • Enhanced Control: Two new global flags give you more power over your output:
    • --verbose: For those who want to see every repository being scanned in real-time.
    • --no-color: Perfect for CI/CD pipelines or when piping output to other tools.

Why it matters

For teams managing dozens or hundreds of repositories, visibility is key. When automating dependency updates—like those from Dependabot—the ability to quickly distinguish a successful merge from a failure at a glance saves valuable time and reduces cognitive load.

By reducing redundant information and introducing high-contrast visual cues, v0.2.0 turns a wall of text into a streamlined dashboard. Whether you are running the tool locally to clean up your org or integrating it into a GitHub Action, the experience is now faster, cleaner, and more professional.

Getting started with v0.2.0

Upgrading to the latest version is simple. You can download the pre-compiled binary for your platform directly from the GitHub releases page.

There are no breaking changes to existing commands or flags, so your current workflows will continue to work seamlessly while benefiting from the improved interface.
