Git diff viewer, OAuth2 in external browser, and code snippets

You can now review diffs before committing with the new Git diff viewer, complete OAuth2 flows in your default browser, and generate code snippets from any HTTP request with the new httpsnippet plugin. Here’s everything that changed.

🔍 Git diff viewer and more

The Git commit dialog now includes a visual diff viewer, so you can review exactly what changed before committing.

Several other Git workflow improvements ship in this release:

Pulling with uncommitted changes now shows a dialog prompting you to reset and pull, instead of a raw error message
A new “Reset Changes” menu item in the git dropdown lets you discard all uncommitted changes
Ahead/behind indicators (↗N ↙N) are shown next to the branch name in the git dropdown button
Push, Pull, and Commit menu items are disabled when not applicable

🌐 OAuth2 in external browser

OAuth2 authorization (authorization code and implicit grants) can now be completed in an external browser instead of the embedded webview. This is useful when OAuth providers block embedded browsers or when you need access to existing browser sessions.

External browser OAuth2 settings — External browser checkbox in OAuth2 settings

Enable the “Use External Browser” checkbox in the OAuth2 settings to open the authorization URL in your default browser. Two callback modes are available:

Hosted Redirect (default) uses a Yaak-hosted endpoint (oauth.yaak.app) as an intermediary that forwards the redirect back to Yaak
Localhost starts a local callback server on a configurable port (default 8765) for direct callback

A computed Redirect URI is displayed in the form so you know exactly which URI to register with your OAuth provider. A 5-minute timeout automatically cleans up the callback server if no response is received.

📋 HTTP snippet plugin

The new HTTP Snippet plugin lets you generate code snippets from any HTTP request. Select a language and library, and get a ready-to-use code snippet for your request.

Code snippet generation — Generate code snippets from HTTP requests

Supported languages include JavaScript (fetch, axios, jQuery), Python (requests, http.client), Go, Ruby, PHP, cURL, and many more via the httpsnippet library.

This plugin also uses the new dynamic() support in the prompt.form() plugin API, which allows form fields to update reactively when values change. For example, selecting a different language automatically updates the available libraries and regenerates the code preview.
