Please add this. As a Fedora user it would be appreciated.

Another Fedora user with an interest in an rpm package. I am also a fedora packager with some modest experience packaging some applications (mostly go lang based). Willing to help in this area. Thanks

Another one :)

[krlvi]

This will be available with release 0.12.8 in a couple of days or the next nightly

[krlvi]

if anyone is curious to try the nightly with an RPM bundle, you can grab it from here - https://app.gitbutler.com/downloads

FYI @krlvi, on Fedora 40 (KDE spin) I get:

$ rpm -i ~/Downloads/git-butler-0.12.8-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37()(64bit) is needed by git-butler-0:0.12.8-1.x86_64

[krlvi]

hmm... gonna investigate some more, thanks for reporting

I installed the RPM on Fedora 40 successfully and it runs, but the window is blank and most commands don't do anything.

If I run it in the terminal I see logs like this:

❯ git-butler-nightly
