Highlights from Git 2.46

The Git open-source project has released Git 2.46, its latest version, which includes features and bug fixes from 96 contributors, 31 of whom were new. The release highlighted new capabilities for the pseudo-merge reachability bitmap and detailed commands to convert existing repositories to use reftable. It also introduced a new user interface for commands, which groups the multiple capabilities offered by the former into a few top-level sub-commands. Furthermore, the new version introduced a credential helper mechanism to provide credentials when accessing repositories that required them. The --no-advice option was also incorporated to disable all advice messages.
