ME News reports that on April 21 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Git released version 2.54. GitHub engineer Taylor Blau provided a combined overview of the key updates in versions 2.53 and 2.54 on the official blog, primarily introducing the experimental `git history` command and a configuration-based hooks system. The `git history` command is designed for simple commit rewriting, supporting two subcommands: `reword` (to modify commit messages) and `split` (to interactively split one commit into two). It does not alter the working directory or index and works even in bare repositories, offering a more direct approach than the `git rebase -i` workflow, which requires maintaining a todo list and resolving conflicts. This command does not support merge commits and will reject operations upon encountering conflicts; the interface may still change. The configuration-based hooks system addresses the longstanding issue of sharing hooks across repositories. Previously, hooks were limited to individual repository-specific scripts stored in the `.git/hooks` directory. Starting with version 2.54, hooks can now be defined in `~/.gitconfig`, system-wide, or repository-specific configurations using `[hook "name"] event=... command=...` syntax. Multiple hooks can be attached to the same event, and `git hook list` shows their sources, while `hook..enabled=false` allows individual disabling. This effectively integrates core capabilities of third-party tools like Husky and pre-commit directly into Git itself. Other changes: The default strategy for `git maintenance` has been switched from `gc` to the geometric strategy introduced in 2.52, which incrementally merges packfiles on a geometric scale; HTTP transport now supports retrying on 429 responses; `git log -L` can now be combined with `-S` and `-G` pickaxe options; and alias names now support non-ASCII characters.
