Hello!
The update might not look huge by the changelog, but I can assure you this is a massive update. The Windows version of git gud was running on .Net 4.8, the Linux and Mac versions were running on .Net 6 and weirdly enough my test framework was running .Net 8 haha.
Now all three versions have been updated to .Net 10.
And the really big change. Most of the negative reviews about git gud revolve around issues with how the game works in different distros of Linux. Some of them my launch_gitgud.sh was able to open the game into a nice looking terminal and sometimes it couldn't.
This is largely due to the Steam Linux Runtime. That runtime doesn't always inherit your settings, installed terminals, or editors. I now have two different solutions.
The first is the same as before. launch_gitgud.sh has been significantly refactored and is now much better at opening in your terminal and using your editor. A far better experience for users hopefully.
However, if that doesn't work then there is now a second option. git gud gui. This is a GUI emulation of what a dark theme terminal would look like. It's a very generic looking terminal. If people have feedback about the gui version, please do post in the discussion forms!
This gui will be available in both the full game and the demos. As well Mac will soon have a demo version.

Lastly! I know I teased content packs at the start of the year: they're still coming! Keep an eye on https://fishagon.com/ for the Fishagon Showcase 2026 where they'll be announced. Can also checkout last years while you're waiting?
I'll be releasing at least 1 content pack on the day of the showcase, as well announcing a number more that will be releasing throughout the rest of the year!
Thanks again to everyone who has played and enjoys git gud,
Sky
