Repository: https://github.com/Siomkin/GitLane

Fast, lightweight, open-source visual Git client for macOS, Windows & Linux — swimlane commit graph, drag-and-drop branch ops, and GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket PRs. Built with Tauri 2 + React/TypeScript.

  • Stars: 5
  • Release with the AppImage: v2.4.3 (2026-10-22T17:18:25Z); newest release: v2.5.0-beta.2
  • AppImage asset: GitLane-2.4.3-linux-appimage.AppImage
  • License: GPL-3.0

Found by .github/workflows/discover-apps.yml, which looks for GitHub
repositories that publish AppImages but are not in the catalog yet. This
entry was not tested by a human; please review it before merging.

Discovered on GitHub as publishing AppImages on its releases, by
discover-apps.yml. Needs a maintainer's review.

❌ Test failure

@Siomkin: this pull request adds the AppImage from your GitHub repository to the AppImage catalog; the test reports the following. Could you have a look?

Tested:

Compatibility: not self-contained: uses the C library of the system; references glibc 2.43

Names:

WARNING: AppImage name 'GitLane-2.4.3-linux-appimage.AppImage': should not contain 'Linux', since all AppImages are for Linux (e.g. 'App-1.0-x86_64.AppImage', not 'App-1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage')
  • The AppImage needs a newer C library (glibc, or the C++ library libstdc++) than the test system has; the error names the version that is missing (e.g. GLIBC_2.38). The test runs on the oldest Ubuntu LTS release that is still in standard support (see https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle), because an AppImage is meant to run on any current Linux distribution, including older ones, and glibc can only be as old as the system the AppImage was built on: a program built on a newer system links against symbols that older systems do not have. The fix is to build on the oldest still-supported LTS release (in GitHub Actions, the oldest ubuntu-* runner still offered, or a container of that release), not on the newest system. If the program itself needs a newer compiler, build in a container of the old release with a newer toolchain (e.g. the toolchain PPAs), statically link what needs it, or bundle the C library together with its dynamic loader (ld-linux) in the AppImage: then the host's glibc does not matter at all (the test reports X-AppImage-Libc=bundled). See https://docs.appimage.org/reference/best-practices.html#binaries-compiled-on-old-enough-base-system
  • The application quit or crashed right after starting; the error below usually shows why. Note that the test runs the application without network access, on purpose, and that this is a requirement for the catalog: an AppImage must start without network (users are offline too). If the application needs a server, a login or an update check to start, please make it show its window (or at least a message) first and connect afterwards, and handle a failed connection instead of exiting.
  • Please check the remarks about the names below.

What next: once the AppImage is fixed (e.g. in a new release), comment /retest here to test it again. If it should not be in the catalog after all, close this pull request; an app that is already in the catalog can be removed by a maintainer with /remove.

Commit 5ab8f44. Full log

Siomkin added a commit to Siomkin/GitLane that referenced this pull request Nov 2, 2026
The self-hosted Linux runner has glibc 2.43, and the AppImage bundles that
host's GTK/WebKit/GLib, so the v2.4.3 AppImage (and .deb/.rpm) failed to
start on Ubuntu 22.04 with "GLIBC_2.38 not found" — the AppImage catalog
test in AppImage/appimage.github.io#11098.

Move the leg to GitHub's ubuntu-22.04 runner (glibc 2.35, the oldest LTS in
standard support). The existing github-hosted path already installs the
Tauri apt deps and uses rust-cache instead of the persistent target dir.

✅ Test passed

Please check that the screenshot shows the application's main window.

GitLane

GitLane

Tested:

Compatibility: not self-contained: uses the C library of the system; references glibc 2.35

Names:

WARNING: AppImage name 'GitLane-2.5.3-linux-appimage.AppImage': should not contain 'Linux', since all AppImages are for Linux (e.g. 'App-1.0-x86_64.AppImage', not 'App-1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage')

Warnings:

  • Please check the remarks about the names below.
  • The window is mostly dark, so the application seems to start in a dark theme although the test system is not set to dark mode. Please use a light mode by default and use the dark theme only when the system is configured for dark mode (e.g. the GTK/Qt or theme setting) or the user chooses it in the settings.
  • The AppImage contains no update information, so users cannot update it with AppImageUpdate or similar tools. Please consider embedding it when building the AppImage (e.g., appimagetool -u) and publishing the .zsync file next to the AppImage; see https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/optional/updates.html

Commit 5ab8f44. Full log

Siomkin added a commit to Siomkin/GitLane that referenced this pull request Nov 2, 2026
New installs started dark even on a light-mode desktop; the AppImage catalog
test flagged it (AppImage/appimage.github.io#11098). Default the theme to
"system" (the existing Auto option), so the app follows prefers-color-scheme
until the user picks Light or Dark. Existing users keep their saved theme.
