gogitup v0.5.1 was released on September 3, 2026. This patch release focuses on toolchain maintenance rather than new features. The application code is unchanged from v0.5.0, so users will see the same behavior they relied on previously, now built against a fresher Go toolchain and updated CI dependencies.

What’s new

v0.5.1 contains no new commands, flags, or user-facing functionality. The changes are limited to build and CI metadata:

  • The Go module requirement was updated from go 1.26.0 to go 1.27.0, and CI builds now run with Go 1.27.1.
  • GitHub CodeQL actions used in CI were bumped from 4.37.7 to 4.37.9 across codeql-go.yml, semgrep.yml, and zizmor.yml.
  • Pre-built binaries for darwin, linux, and windows are published with matching checksums.

These updates come from PRs #88, #90, and #91 merged in the v0.5.0 to v0.5.1 range.

Why it matters

Keeping the build environment current reduces technical debt and ensures the project can take advantage of toolchain improvements and security updates. The CodeQL action bumps apply to the repository’s own CI pipeline, improving the quality of automated analysis without affecting the released binary.

For users, this means the tool remains stable and installable with no migration work. Source builds will now require Go 1.27+, which aligns with the project’s forward-looking maintenance.

Upgrade

No migration steps are needed. If you use go install:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/gogitup@latest

You can also download pre-built binaries from the release page at https://github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/gogitup/releases/tag/v0.5.1. If gogitup is already tracking itself, gogitup upgrade will pick up the new version.
