Changelog

1.2.0

Features

  • File exclusion: exclude config field removes files/directories from the subrepo at the josh-proxy transport layer. Patterns are embedded inline in the josh-proxy URL using :exclude[::pattern,...] syntax — no extra files to generate or commit.
  • Filter change reconciliation: When the josh filter changes (e.g., adding/removing exclude patterns), josh-sync automatically creates a reconciliation merge commit that connects old and new histories. No manual reset or force-push required.
  • Tree comparison guard: Reverse sync now compares subrepo tree to josh-filtered tree before checking commit log. Skips immediately when trees are identical, avoiding false positives from reconciliation merge history.
  • Unrelated histories detection: Forward sync detects when histories are unrelated (no common ancestor) and falls back to reconciliation instead of creating a useless conflict PR.

Fixes

  • Pre-v1.2 state compatibility: When upgrading from v1.0/v1.1 (no josh_filter stored in state), the old filter is derived from subfolder so reconciliation triggers correctly.
  • Reconciliation merge parent order: Josh-filtered history is always first parent so josh-proxy can follow first-parent traversal back to the monorepo.
  • Reverse sync --ancestry-path flag prevents old subrepo history from leaking through reconciliation merge parents.
  • PR body \n now renders as actual newlines instead of literal text.
  • Conflict result no longer updates sync state (added continue to skip state write).
  • action.yml now copies VERSION file for correct --version output in CI.
  • .gitignore now includes dist/ and .env.

1.1.0

Features

  • onboard command: Interactive, resumable workflow for importing existing subrepos into the monorepo. Walks through: prerequisites check, import (creates PRs), wait for merge, reset (pushes josh-filtered history). Checkpoint/resume at every step.
  • migrate-pr command: Migrates open PRs from an archived subrepo to the new one. Supports interactive selection, --all flag, and specific PR numbers. Uses git apply --3way for resilient patch application.
  • Onboard state tracking: Stored on the josh-sync-state branch at <target>/onboard.json. Tracks step progress, import PR numbers, reset branches, and migrated PRs.

1.0.0

Initial release. Extracted from private-monorepo-example into a standalone reusable library.

Features

  • Bidirectional sync: forward (mono → subrepo) and reverse (subrepo → mono)
  • Multi-target support via .josh-sync.yml config
  • Per-target credential overrides (SSH keys, HTTPS tokens)
  • Force-with-lease safety for forward sync
  • Loop prevention via git trailers
  • State tracking on orphan branch (josh-sync-state)
  • Initial import and subrepo reset commands
  • Composite action for Gitea/GitHub CI
  • Nix flake with devenv module
  • Preflight validation checks
  • Config schema (JSON Schema)

Breaking Changes (vs. inline scripts)

  • Python + pyyaml replaced by yq-go (single static binary)
  • 7 separate scripts replaced by single josh-sync CLI
  • Consumer workflows use composite action (uses: https://your-gitea/org/josh-sync@v1)
