Gsd Whats New

<objective> Display changes between installed version and latest available version.

Shows version comparison, changelog entries for missed versions, and update instructions. </​objective>

<process> <step name="get_installed_version"> Read installed version from manifest file:

cat .github/​get-shit-done/​.gsd-install-manifest.json 2>/​dev/​null | grep -o '"version"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' | cut -d'"' -f4

If manifest file missing:

## GSD What's New

**Installed version:** Unknown

Your installation doesn't include version tracking.

**To fix:** `npx get-shit-done-multi --copilot`

This will reinstall with version tracking enabled.

STOP here if no manifest file. </​step>

<step name="fetch_remote_changelog"> Fetch latest CHANGELOG.md from GitHub:

Use WebFetch tool with:

• URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/​shoootyou/​get-shit-done-multi/​main/​CHANGELOG.md
• Prompt: "Extract all version entries with their dates and changes. Return in Keep-a-Changelog format."

If fetch fails: Fall back to local changelog:

cat .github/​get-shit-done/​CHANGELOG.md 2>/​dev/​null

Note to user: "Couldn't check for updates (offline or GitHub unavailable). Showing local changelog." </​step>

<step name="parse_versions"> From the remote (or local) changelog:

1. Extract latest version - First ## [X.Y.Z] line after ## [Unreleased]
2. Compare with installed - From VERSION file
3. Extract entries between - All version sections from latest down to (but not including) installed

Version comparison:

• If installed == latest: "You're on the latest version"
• If installed < latest: Show changes since installed version
• If installed > latest: "You're ahead of latest release (development version?)" </​step>

<step name="display_output"> Format output clearly:
