NodeSync

Changelog

• All GitHub-specific labels, operator names, and UI strings replaced with neutral "Git remote" language. The clone operator is now Clone from Git Remote, the panel section header is Git Remote, and the manifest's network permission reason is generic.
• Added a Remote Username field alongside the renamed Personal Access Token field in addon preferences. The HTTPS URL builder now produces https://USER:TOKEN@host/repo when both are set, which is what actually makes GitLab, Codeberg, Gitea, Bitbucket, and self-hosted Forgejo work — not just GitHub. Tested end-to-end on GitLab.
• SSH URLs (git@host:user/repo) continue to bypass the token field and use the user's SSH agent.
• README updated to frame NodeSync as supporting any Git remote.

Changelog

NodeSync v1.2.2

Covers all changes since v1.0.8.

Pull / Push fixes

• Pulled node groups now appear in the Geometry Nodes modifier dropdown. Reconstruction restores the is_modifier and

is_tool flags (defaulting is_modifier to True for repos pushed before this version) and sets use_fake_user so groups stay visible and don't linger as orphan data-blocks that block rename attempts.

• Pull no longer aborts on uncommitted edits to nodes/_scene_assignments.json. The auto-generated bookkeeping file is now

reset to HEAD before the merge and filtered out of the pull-candidate dialog so it isn't mistaken for a node group.

• The history bookmark now advances to the new HEAD after a pull. Previously it stayed pinned to whatever commit you'd last

checked out.

• Auto-Push on Commit now actually fires for extension installs. The addon-preferences lookup was returning the wrong key

under Blender's extension system, silently disabling the preference. Manual push wasn't visibly affected because git uses cached credentials.

• The "Pushed OK" status indicator now clears after 10 seconds instead of sticking around forever.
• Per-file pull failures surface in the Blender info bar instead of being silently swallowed by import_specific_from_disk.

New features

• Diff Base — pick any prior commit (not just HEAD) to diff your current state against in the node graph overlay.
• Multi-lane history coloring — each commit is assigned to the most-specific branch that reaches it, so the default branch

owns shared ancestors and feature branches stand out only on commits that are unique to them.

Internal

• bl_idname for NodeSyncPreferences switched from __name__ to __package__ per Blender's recommended convention.

Changelog

Fixed

• Reverting to a commit that re-introduced a material no longer leaves objects with empty material slots. Scene wiring (object → material slots,

object → GN modifier links) is now versioned in a new nodes/_scene_assignments.json file, written on every commit and read after every revert,
branch switch, pull, clone, and merge resolve. Slot assignments now survive across sessions, machines, and clones.

• Wrong-collection deletion bug when reverting past a commit that introduced a material/world/light data-block.
• Node editor now deselects the tree being deleted before removal, so you don't end up staring at a deleted data-block.

Added

• Auto-load on file open — re-opening a .blend no longer requires pressing "Init Project". The project loads automatically if .nodesync exists at

the stored path.

• Filter history by node type — new Geo and Shader buttons under the history filter row let you see only commits that touched geometry nodes or

only those that touched shader nodes.

• Better shader filter labels — the per-tree filter button now shows the material name (e.g. MyMaterial (material)) instead of the generic Shader

Nodetree.

Changed

• Project panel hides the "Init New Project" / "Clone from GitHub" buttons once a valid project is loaded.
• Folder browse button now works for any directory, not just initialized projects.
• Branches panel moved below the History panel.
