Changelog

v1.2.0 (January 15, 2026)​

Major Changes​

Git-Like Staging Workflow

  • Real-time change detection monitors Variables and Styles every 3 seconds
  • Three-section workflow: Unstaged Changes → Staged Changes → Commits to Push
  • Stage individual changes or use "Stage All" to batch
  • Create local commits before pushing to GitHub
  • View, expand, and delete pending commits
  • Cross-device support: commits stored in cloud and sync across devices

Streamlined Plugin

  • Removed Make Bridge mode to focus on the core workflow
  • Make Bridge functionality is archived and may return in a future release
  • The plugin now launches directly with no mode switching

Redesigned Repository Connection

  • Connect Existing: Separate Owner dropdown and Repository Name fields
  • Owner dropdown shows your GitHub username and organizations with avatars
  • Create New: Same Owner selector for choosing where to create the repo
  • Consistent UI pattern across both connection methods

Unified Main View

  • Settings merged into main view (no separate Settings screen)
  • Mapping section now inline with file tree always visible
  • "Add Target" button appears on hover over JSON files
  • Repository dropdown with Disconnect option
  • Branch dropdown with Create Branch inline
  • User menu with avatar and Sign Out
  • Pull button relocated to header row with commit count badge

Improvements​

  • GitHub-style octicon icons for branches, repositories, and pull requests
  • Improved toast notification positioning (top of panel)
  • Better keyboard input handling in Figma plugin context
  • Authentication status visible on splash and connect screens
  • Baseline updates automatically after Pull and Push operations

v1.1.1 (January 13, 2026)​

Bug Fixes​

Fixed New Repository Setup Flow

  • Creating a new repository now works seamlessly end-to-end
  • Default file mapping (sample-tokens.json → Variables) is automatically configured
  • Tokens are auto-pulled immediately after repo creation (no manual pull required)
  • Removed misleading "Repository has content to pull" notification on fresh setup

This patch resolves a UX issue where users creating new repositories were stuck in a dead-end state, unable to pull without mappings or configure mappings without files.

v1.1.0 (January 8, 2026)​

New Features​

Draft File Support

  • Work with unsaved/draft Figma files
  • Draft files get a unique identifier that persists across sessions
  • When you save a draft to a Figma project, your connection automatically migrates to the stable file ID
  • Works seamlessly across Figma Desktop and Web

Improved Onboarding

  • New repositories now include a sample-tokens.json file with example design tokens
  • Sample includes colors, spacing, and border radius values in W3C format
  • Pull the sample immediately to see how variables are created in Figma

Improvements​

Actionable Error Messages

  • Error messages now provide clear next steps for resolution
  • Authentication errors: prompt to sign out and back in
  • Permission errors: suggest checking repository access
  • Network errors: advise checking connection
  • Context-specific guidance for each operation type

Better Toast Notifications

  • Repositioned to top of panel to avoid overlapping buttons
  • Longer display duration for better readability (8-12 seconds depending on type)
  • Dynamic content padding prevents UI overlap

UI Clarity

  • "Disconnect repo" button moved next to the repository name for better discoverability
  • Clearer visual association between the action and the connected repository
  • Repository input help text now explains owner format (GitHub username or org name)

Footer with Quick Links

  • Version number displayed in footer (e.g., "GitFig v1.1.1")
  • Quick access icons linking to website, documentation, and community
  • Tooltips show full URLs on hover

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed high severity qs package vulnerability (Dependabot #6)
