Git 2.13.0, the latest release of the open-source Git project, introduces numerous enhancements and fixes contributed by over 65 developers. A significant security update addresses a vulnerability in the git shell program that affects specific hosting server configurations, though GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise remain unaffected. The update notably includes a collision-detecting SHA-1 implementation to safeguard against potential attacks, albeit with a minor performance trade-off. The release also enhances pathspec functionality, making it more user-friendly with new shortcuts for exclusion patterns and support for gitattributes-based file selection. Moreover, Git 2.13 brings conditional configuration includes, enabling users to set different configuration options based on the repository path. Additional improvements include the default decoration of commits in git log, the ability to format git branch output, and improved handling of submodules and repository discovery. This release comprises over 700 commits, reflecting the continuous efforts of the Git community to refine the tool's capabilities.
